Arkansas Teacher Licensure Policy:

According to the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) website on Licensure by Reciprocity -- Arkansas recognizes a teaching license from another state or country based on the ADE licensure rules and/or the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) Interstate Agreement for Educator Licensure. They do grant reciprocity to educators with a standard license and 3 years of teaching experience. Subsequent to the above policy being enacted, the Arkansas legislature enacted SB 564 (Act 820) in 2019, creating a comprehensive licensure portability oppurtunity for educators who are active duty members, veterans or their spouses.
