The Arkansas Department of
Education (ADE) and the Arkansas Educational Television Network
(AETN) have recently announced the launch of the Internet Delivered
Education for Arkansas Schools (IDEAS) professional development
portal. Arkansas IDEAS provides Arkansas educators with a variety of
professional development opportunities including literacy and
mathematics courses. The professional development available on
Arkansas IDEAS is at no charge to Arkansas teachers. Arkansas IDEAS
is found at www.aetn.org/education.
Teachers will be
required to enter the 10-digit Teacher ID to register for online
professional development. Personnel with the necessary assigned
security rights to Sungard Pentamation's StudentPlus (SMS) or
FinancePlus (FMS) software may look up the 10-digit Teacher ID by
following the steps listed below. Individuals with licensed access
to Cognos Query Studio or Report Studio can produce a list of
10-digit Teacher IDs by running the Cognos report identified below.

10-digit ID number:

ID Number” report
All active teachers in Pentamation have a
State ID number.
For teachers not in Pentamation (Little
Rock, North Little Rock, Pulaski County, and Lake Hamilton), data
from the 2006 Cycle 2 Report was used to generate these ID numbers.
Therefore, any teacher hired by these districts after Cycle 2 of
2006 will not be in the system at this time. These districts can
contact the district technology coordinator for assistance in
accessing the ID.
Administrators, educational cooperative
personnel and ADE staff will be issued an ID in the near future.
If a state ID number has not been assigned for a teacher
choosing to register for online professional development, please
contact AETN at 1-800-662-2386 or arideastech@aetn.org. If
difficulty is experienced in registering, please contact AETN at the
above location.
