Ensure cohorts of teacher residents in classroom settings model evidence-based practices with diverse learners— including English learners, students with disabilities, gifted students, and/or students with low literacy levels— that are designed to help novice residents learn to teach; viii. Provide ongoing mentoring, induction and support for new teachers after they graduate; ix. Supply financial support for teacher residents in exchange for committing to teach in the sponsoring LEA for a minimum number of years, if offered a position; and x. Successfully prepare residents for receipt of the professional educator license upon program completion. xi.

Audits
The audit requirements adopted by GATA include the adoption of the federal audit requirements (2 CFR 200.501), audit requirements for grantees and subrecipients that do not meet the federal audit requirements and audit requirements for “For Profit” subrecipients. Audit Types 1. A non-federal entity (awardee) that expends $750,000 or more during the non-federal entity's fiscal year in federal awards (federal pass-through and direct federal funds) from all sources must have a single audit conducted in accordance with 2 CFR 200.514. Awardee’s meeting certain requirements may elect to have a program-specific audit conducted in accordance with 2 CFR 200.507 with the approval of their cognizant agency. 2. A non-federal entity that expends less than $750,000 during the non-federal entity's fiscal year in federal awards (federal pass-through and/or direct federal funds) from all sources is exempt from federal audit requirements for that year. These non-federal entities are not subject to the single audit requirements. 3. Non-federal entities who expend less than $750,000 in direct federal and federal passthrough funds from all sources are subject to the following audit requirements: a. Non-federal entities who expend $500,000 or more during the non-federal entity's fiscal year in State, direct federal and federal pass-through funds, singularly or in any combination, and are not subject to the single audit: i. Must have a financial statement audit conducted in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS); and ii. If deemed to be high risk based on their grantee risk profile (includes but not limited to: the Financial and Administrative Risk Assessment, the Merit-Based Review, the Programmatic Risk Assessment, prior history and experience in administering grants, and results of prior audits and/or other regulatory reviews and corrective action status) are required to undergo either an on-site review conducted by the State cognizant agency or an agreed upon procedures engagement, paid for and arranged by the Pass-Through Entity(ies) (PTE(s)) in accordance with 2 CFR 200.425. b. Non-federal entities who do not meet the requirements in subsection (a) but expend $300,000 or more during the non-federal entity's fiscal year in State, direct federal and federal pass-through funds, singularly or in any combination must have a financial statement audit conducted in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS). c. Non-federal entities who do not meet the requirements in subsection (a) or (b) but have audits conducted based on other regulatory requirements must submit those audits for review. For-profit Subrecipient. The PTE(s) is responsible for ensuring subrecipient compliance with established requirements. Methods to ensure compliance for State and federal awards to for profit subrecipients may include pre-award audits, monitoring during the agreement period of performance, and post-award audits.

For-profit subrecipients who expend $750,000 or more in direct federal and federal pass-through funds (from all sources) during their fiscal year are required to have a program-specific audit conducted in accordance with Uniform Guidance section 200.507 (Program-specific Audits). a. State grantmaking agencies must provide the recipient/subrecipient the program specific audit guide, when available. b. If a program-specific guide is not available, the auditor and auditee have the same responsibilities for the program as they would have for a major program in a single audit. c. The auditor must audit Federal programs with Federal awards expended that, in aggregate cover at least 50 percent (0.50) of total Federal awards expended. 2.
