Arkansas Tech University has received an Arkansas Department of Education grant of approximately $365,000 to fund the 2024-25 ATU English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Institute.
The grant will cover the full cost of tuition, materials and one attempt at the Praxis 5362 examination for up to 50 qualified K-12 teachers in Arkansas. Participants will be responsible for a $40 application fee.
The in-person portion of the program will take place June 10-15, 2024, on the ATU campus in Russellville. There will be four online training sessions during the 2024-25 academic year.
Successful completion of the ten-day (80 hours) training and assignments via four online courses will earn participants 12 graduate hours of credit and (ESL) licensure endorsement.
