We are looking for Clinical Supervisors for ArPEP candidates who are completing their year-long residency this year. We are looking for outstanding teachers and administrators who can provide feedback based on the Aspiring Teacher rubric and have a proven track record of effectiveness. Observations must be done during the school day, so retired educators, those on a 4-day week, or those able to have flexible schedules, including higher education, may be interested.

For more information, see the form below. We have candidates across the state, so you don't have to be located in Central Arkansas! We especially need those with secondary teaching experience!
