IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The College of Education must have received from PRAXIS a DESIGNATED INSTITUTION SCORE REPORT with a
passing Praxis II Content Knowledge Test Score for internship approval. Be sure to have your score report 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. If you have
not taken, or have not passed the Praxis II, indicate the scheduled test date on the form below.
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 Ms. 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
and arrange for your placement. Do not contact schools until your placement is confirmed by this office.
