No, but there is a two-year beginning teacher residency required under REPA for new teachers, new school service personnel and new administrators, except for superintendents. This residency retains some of the features of IMAP including successful completion of a standards-based assessment in the second year. More information about the residency programs will be available on the OELD website and from Katie Russo at krusso@doe.in.gov. New educators who completed the first year of IMAP during the 2009-10 school year will be able to complete their second year of IMAP during the 2010-11 school year. The deadline for completion of both years of IMAP under Rules 2002 is July 1, 2011. Starting August 1, 2010, any educator holding an initial practitioner (IP) license that has not completed year one of IMAP must participate in the beginning educator residency program under REPA.
