Meeting Highly Qualified Requirement
LEA ExpectationLEA Expectation
Local Education Agencies must ensure that teachers of a core academic subject meet certain minimum requirements they need to become effective educators.
The requirements to be considered “highly qualified” are that teachers hold at least a bachelor’s degree, be fully certified in Texas, and demonstrate competency in the core academic subject area they are teaching. Special education teachers must be appropriately certified as a special education teacher.
Meeting Highly Qualified Requirement
LEA ExpectationLEA ExpectationTeachers must meet the NCLB highly qualified teacher requirements who: 1) is the teacher of record, and 2) provides direct instruction to students in any of the core academic subject areas defined by NCLB must meet the requirement.
Special education teachers who deliver direct instruction to students with disabilities in core academic subject areas must meet the appropriate state special education certification requirements for the grade level that they are teaching in addition to meeting the same standard for subject matter competency to meet highly qualified. These requirements apply whether a special education teacher provides direct core academic instruction in a regular classroom, in a resource room, or in another non-traditional setting.
Meeting Highly Qualified Requirement
LEA ExpectationLEA Expectation
“Core academic subjects” means English, reading or language arts, Mathematics, science, Foreign Languages (languages other than English), Civics and Government, Economics, Arts, History, and Geography.
States must make this determination. TEA has defined “arts” as music (including band and choir directors), art, theatre, dance, and other courses accepted by SBOE for graduation credit in Fine Arts

Curriculum Changes
Teachers in ACP program may be considered “highly qualified” during the internship year if the teacher meets the following three requirements:
1. Holds a minimum of a bachelor’s degree; and
2. Has demonstrated subject matter competency in each of the academic subjects in which the teacher is assigned to teach, …
(a) For new elementary ACP interns, this would be demonstrated by passing a rigorous State test of subject knowledge and teaching skills in reading, writing, mathematics, and other areas of the basic elementary school curriculum (which consists of passing a TExES certification exam or tests in reading, writing, mathematics, and other areas of the basic elementary school curriculum.)
(b) For new secondary ACP interns, this would be either passing the appropriate TExES exam or having an academic major or graduate degree or the coursework equivalent to an undergraduate academic major [i.e., 24 semester hours, with 12 of the hours being upper-division (junior- or senior-level) courses] in the core academic subject areas in which they teach.
3. Teachers, including special education teachers in ACP programs, may be considered to meet the certification requirements in the NCLB definition of a highly qualified teacher if they are participating in an SBEC-approved alternative route to certification program under which they:
(a) receive, before and while teaching, high-quality professional development that is sustained, intensive, and classroom-focused in order to have a positive and lasting impact on classroom instruction before and while teaching;
(b) participate in a program of intensive supervision that consists of structured guidance and regular ongoing support for teachers, or a teacher mentoring program;
(c) assume functions as a teacher only for a specified period of time not to exceed three years; and
(d) demonstrate satisfactory progress toward full certification as prescribed by state statute.

A pilot DI course was offered Fall 2010. Rebecca Sheinberg and Jackie Gentry (along with other co-presenter partners) successfully provided the 40 hour hybrid course.
As we plan to roll out DI for 2011-2012 year (c32), we will need our core group trained on module content, expectations, grading, etc. These Fridays allows us to learn and understand the training.
