IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The College of Education must have received from PRAXIS a DESIGNATED INSTITUTION SCORE REPORT with passing Core
Academic Skills for Educators Tests Praxis I and Praxis II Content Knowledge Score(s) prior to the first day of the semester.
Be sure to have your score(s) report(s) sent to both ATU (code #RA6010) and the State Department of Education (code
#R7031). Failure to do this will result in an additional fee for requesting duplicate scores and will slow the processing of your
application.
The Arkansas Department of Education requires an APPROVED BACKGROUND CHECK before entering an internship. This
consists of fingerprinting which must be approved by both the Arkansas State Police and the FBI. It also requires an approved
Child Maltreatment form. Please contact the Office of Licensure and Support Services in Crabaugh 310 for more information.
You may also email Teresa Auprey at tauprey@atu.edu or call her at 479-964-0583 ext. 2351. It can take up to two months to
gain this approval. Please allow sufficient time for approval so your entry into internship won’t be delayed.
The Office of The Director of Teacher Education Student Services will notify you, by OneTech e-mail, of your status (usually
after the end of the current semester) and arrange for your placement (if not employed by a school district). Do not contact
schools until your placement is confirmed by this office.
