Any Fellow who does NOT currently have a provisional license can earn a $500 bonus by completing all requirements for a provisional license by June 1, 2023. The ADE is trying to incentivize teachers to complete all requirements ASAP in order to ensure all teachers are fully licensed.
To earn the $500 bonus, you must complete the following by June 1:
- Submit official undergraduate transcripts
- Complete required AR IDEAS courses, including:
- Pass Praxis Subject Assessment for the content you're teaching
Fellows who earn their provisional license between June 1, 2022 - May 31, 2023 are eligible for the bonus. If a provisional license is issued via an Alternative Assessment Plan (AAP), the fellow must also complete the microcredential by June 1 in order to receive the bonus. Bonuses will be paid in June 2023.
Check the ATC portal for any missing items or schedule a call with John to discuss your licensure status. Contact Brandon (blucius@uark.edu) with any questions about the bonus. |
