STEP 4: REGISTER FOR AND STUDY FOR THE ARIZONA EDUCATOR PROFICIENCY ASSESSMENTS (AEPAs)

Candidates who are invited to interview with the Teaching Fellows program will receive individualized instruction at that time as to the specific Arizona Educator Proficiency Assessment (AEPA) Subject Knowledge portion that they must register for and take.

Review the Testing Requirements section of this website for more information.

STEP 5: APPLY FOR FINGERPRINT CLEARANCE

The State of Arizona requires all individuals working with children to have a valid fingerprint clearance card. As the fingerprint clearance process often takes six to eight weeks to complete for a person without a state or federal criminal record, it is essential to apply as early as possible.

If you are invited to interview, you will be required to submit at least one official transcript from each institution you attended;

If you are accepted into the program, you must submit an additional three (3) official (sealed) copies of transcripts from each institution you attended, which must be filed with the Fellows office before training begins. Individuals receiving offers to join Phoenix Teaching Fellows will also be required to send an additional set of official transcripts to Arizona State University’s Graduate College, to enroll in the College of Teacher Education and Leadership InMAC program.

If you attended a foreign university, please review the Eligibility section for information specific to candidates with foreign transcripts.
