The Arkansas Department of Education allows for teachers licensed in grades 7-12 to attain an endorsement in teaching grades 5 and 6. Those individuals who wish to attain this endorsement must hold a 7-12 license before beginning the endorsement process. Credentials to teach grades 5 and 6 are added to the 7-12 license. In order to gain the endorsement, students must complete the following three courses with an overall cumulative grade point of 3.000 (B) or better with no grade of less than a C.
