SECTION 5: TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YOUR TEACH GRANT SERVICE OBLIGATION

For each program of study for which you received a TEACH Grant, you must complete a service obligation by teaching full-time for a total of at least 4 elementary or secondary school years (1) as a highly-qualified teacher; (2) at a school or educational service agency serving low-income students; and (3) in a high-need field.

You must complete the 4 years of teaching within 8 years after you cease to be enrolled at the postsecondary institution where you received your TEACH Grants. You must provide us with documentation of each completed school year of teaching. When requested, you must provide us with other documentation showing that you are meeting the terms and conditions of your service obligation.

If you do not begin qualifying teaching or continue to perform qualifying teaching service within a timeframe that would allow you to complete the required 4-year service obligation for a program of study within the 8-year period required by your Agreement, any TEACH Grant you received for that program of study will be converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan that you must repay in full, with interest charged from the date of each TEACH Grant disbursement you received. Any TEACH Grant you received will also be converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan if you ask us to convert your TEACH Grant to a loan because you have decided not to teach in an eligible school or field, or for any other reason. For the complete terms and conditions of your TEACH Grant service obligation, refer to your Agreement.

SECTION 6: DEFINITIONS

Chief administrative officer

The chief administrative officer (CAO) who may complete Section 4 is the official who has access to employment records that establish that your teaching service meets the terms and conditions of your TEACH Grant Agreement, as described in Section 5, and who is authorized to verify your qualifying teaching service. Depending on your employer, the chief administrative officer may be a superintendent, a human resources official or other school district or educational service agency official, or a principal or assistant principal.

Educational service agency

An educational service agency (ESA) is a regional, public multiservice agency (not a private organization) authorized by state statute to develop, manage, and provide services or programs to local educational agencies (such as public school districts), as defined in section 9101 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA).

Elementary school

An elementary school is a public or nonprofit private school, including a public elementary charter school, that provides elementary education, as determined under state law.

Full-time

You are considered to be a full-time teacher if you meet the standard used by the state where you teach in defining full-time employment as a teacher. If you are teaching in more than one school, the determination of full-time is based on the combination of all of your qualifying employment.

Highly-qualified teacher

The requirements to be considered a highly qualified teacher are different depending on whether you are a public school teacher or a private school teacher.

Requirements to be a highly-qualified public school teacher

If you are a teacher of public elementary or secondary school students (including a teacher employed by an educational service agency), to be considered highly-qualified you must—

• Have obtained full state certification as a teacher (including certification obtained through alternative routes to certification) or passed the state teacher licensing examination, and hold a license to teach in that state, except that if you are teaching in a public charter school, the term “highly qualified teacher” means that you meet the requirements set forth in the state’s public charter school law; and

• Not have had certification or licensure requirements waived on an emergency, temporary, or provisional basis.

In addition—

If you are a teacher of elementary school students who is new to the profession, you must hold at least a bachelor’s degree, and must have demonstrated, by passing a rigorous state test, subject knowledge and teaching skills in reading, writing, mathematics, and other areas of the basic elementary school curriculum (which may consist of passing a state-required certification or licensing test or tests in reading, writing, mathematics, and other areas of the basic elementary school curriculum).

If you are a teacher of middle or secondary school students who is new to the profession, you must hold at least a bachelor’s degree, and must have demonstrated a high level of competency in each of the academic subjects in which you teach by—

• Passing a rigorous state academic subject test in each of the academic subjects in which you teach (which may consist of a passing level of performance on a state-required certification or licensing test or tests in each of the academic subjects in which you teach); or

• Successfully completing, in each of the academic subjects in which you teach, an academic major, a graduate degree, coursework equivalent to an undergraduate academic major, or advanced certification or credentialing.

If you are a teacher of elementary, middle, or secondary school students who is not new to the profession, you must hold at least a bachelor’s degree and must (1) meet the applicable standards of a teacher of elementary, middle, or secondary school students who is new to the profession; or (2) demonstrate competence in all the academic subjects in which you teach based on a highly objective, uniform state standard of evaluation that—

• Is set by the state for both grade appropriate academic subject matter knowledge and teaching skills;

• Is aligned with challenging state academic content and student academic achievement standards and developed in consultation with core content specialists, teachers, principals, and school administrators;

SECTION 6: DEFINITIONS (CONTINUED)

• Provides objective, coherent information about your attainment of core content knowledge in the academic subjects in which you teach;

• Is applied uniformly to all teachers in the same academic subject and the same grade level throughout the state;

• Takes into consideration, but is not based primarily on, the time you have been teaching in the academic subject;

• Is made available to the public upon request; and

• May involve multiple, objective measures of teacher competency.

Requirements to be a highly-qualified private school teacher

If you are a teacher in a private, non-profit elementary or secondary school and you are exempt from state teacher certification requirements, to be considered highly-qualified you must satisfy rigorous subject knowledge and skills tests by taking competency tests in the applicable grade levels and subject areas. The competency tests must be recognized by five or more states for the purposes of fulfilling the highly qualified teacher requirements for public school teachers as described above, and you must achieve a score on each test that equals or exceeds the average passing score for those states.

High-need fields

High-need fields are—

• Bilingual education and English language acquisition;

• Foreign language;

• Mathematics;

• Reading specialist;

• Science (including, but not limited to, computer science);

• Special education; or

• Any other high-need field listed in the Teacher Shortage Area Nationwide Listing (Nationwide List) at https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/pol/tsa.html that we issue annually and periodically update, including a geographic region of a state or a specific grade level designated as having a shortage of teachers.

To satisfy your TEACH Grant service obligation by teaching in a high-need field that is listed in the Nationwide List, the field must be listed for the state where you are teaching at the time you begin teaching in that field (even if the field later loses its high-need designation), or it must have been listed for the state where you are teaching at time you signed your Agreement or received a TEACH Grant (even if the field loses its high-need designation before you begin teaching in that field).

Low-income school

A low-income school is an elementary school, secondary school, or educational service agency (ESA) that is listed in the U.S. Department of Education’s Teacher Cancellation Low-Income Directory (TCLI Directory) at https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/tcli.action. All elementary and secondary schools or educational service agencies operated by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) or operated on Indian reservations by Indian tribal groups under contract or grant with the BIE qualify as low-income schools, even if they are not listed in the TCLI Directory.

If a school or ESA where you teach meets the requirements for inclusion in the TCLI Directory for all or a part of a school year of your required 4 school years of teaching, but does not meet those requirements in subsequent school years, those subsequent years of teaching at that same school or ESA will still qualify for purposes of satisfying your TEACH Grant service obligation.

School year

A school year is—

• One complete school year at the same school or for the same ESA; or

• Two complete and consecutive half school years at different schools or for different ESAs; or

• Two complete and consecutive half school years from different school years at either the same school or for the same ESA or at different schools or for different ESAs.

Half years do not include summer sessions. Two half school years generally fall within a 12-month period. For schools or ESAs that have a year-round program of instruction, a minimum of nine months is considered to be a school year.

Under limited conditions, less than a full school year of teaching may still be counted as one of your required 4 years. If you completed at least one-half of a school year of qualifying teaching, but were unable to teach for the remainder of the school year, that partial year may still be counted toward one of your required 4 years of teaching if—

• Your employer considers you to have fulfilled your contract requirements for the school year for the purposes of salary increases, tenure, and retirement; and

• You were unable to complete the full school year due to (1) a condition that is a qualifying reason for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA), (2) a call or order to Federal or State active duty, or Active Service as a member of a Reserve Component of the Armed Forces named in 10 U.S.C. 10101, or service as a member of the National Guard on full-time National Guard duty, as defined in 10 U.S.C. 101(d)(5); or (3) residing in or being employed in a federally declared major disaster area as defined in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5122(2).

Secondary school

A secondary school is a public or nonprofit private school, including a public secondary charter school, that provides secondary education, as determined under state law. However, a secondary school does not include any education beyond grade 12.

Teacher

A teacher is a person who provides direct classroom teaching or classroom-type teaching in a non-classroom setting, including special education teachers and reading specialists.

TEACH Grant servicer

Your TEACH Grant servicer (identified in the General Information and Instructions on page 1 and at the bottom of all other pages of this form) monitors your progress toward completing your TEACH Grant service obligation on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education.

The principal purposes for collecting the information on this form, including your SSN, are to verify your identity, to determine your eligibility to receive a TEACH Grant, and, if a TEACH Grant that you receive is converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan, to determine your eligibility to receive a benefit on the loan (such as deferment, forbearance, discharge, or forgiveness), to permit the servicing of your loan(s), and, if it becomes necessary, to locate you and to collect and report on your loan(s) if your loan(s) become delinquent or in default. We also use your SSN as an account identifier and to permit you to access your account information electronically.

The information in your file may be disclosed, on a case-by-case basis or under a computer matching program, to third parties as authorized under routine uses in the appropriate systems of records notices.

The routine uses of the information that we collect about you, if your TEACH Grant has not been converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan, include, but are not limited to, its disclosure to federal, state, or local agencies, to institutions of higher education, and to third party servicers to determine your eligibility to receive a TEACH Grant, to investigate possible fraud, and to verify compliance with federal student financial aid program regulations.

In the event of litigation, we may send records to the Department of Justice, a court, adjudicative body, counsel, party, or witness if the disclosure is relevant and necessary to the litigation. If this information, either alone or with other information, indicates a potential violation of law, we may send it to the appropriate authority for action. We may send information to members of Congress if you ask them to help you with federal student aid questions. In circumstances involving employment complaints, grievances, or disciplinary actions, we may disclose relevant records to adjudicate or investigate the issues. If provided for by a collective bargaining agreement, we may disclose records to a labor organization recognized under 5 U.S.C. Chapter 71. Disclosures may be made to our contractors for the purpose of performing any programmatic function that requires disclosure of records. Before making any such disclosure, we will require the contractor to maintain Privacy Act safeguards. Disclosures may also be made to qualified researchers under Privacy Act safeguards.

If your TEACH Grant has been converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan, the routine uses of this information also include, but are not limited to, its disclosure to federal, state, or local agencies, to private parties such as relatives, present and former employers, business and personal associates, to creditors, to financial and educational institutions, and to guaranty agencies to verify your identity, to determine your program eligibility and benefits, to permit making, servicing, assigning, collecting, adjusting or discharging your loan(s), to enforce the terms of the loan(s), to investigate possible fraud and to verify compliance with federal student financial aid program regulations, to locate you if you become delinquent in your loan payments or if you default, or to verify whether your debt qualifies for discharge or cancellation. To provide default rate calculations, disclosures may be made to guaranty agencies, to financial and educational institutions, or to federal, state or local agencies. To provide financial aid history information, disclosures may be made to educational institutions. To assist program administrators with tracking refunds and cancellations, disclosures may be made to guaranty agencies, to financial and educational institutions, or to federal or state agencies.

To provide a standardized method for educational institutions to efficiently submit student enrollment status, disclosures may be made to guaranty agencies or to financial and educational institutions. To counsel you in repayment efforts, disclosures may be made to guaranty agencies, to financial and educational institutions, or to federal, state, or local agencies.
