Human Resources :: Highly Qualified Teacher Requirements

The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act requires each local education agency (LEA) to publicly report progress of the LEA and its campuses toward meeting the HQ teacher requirements as defined by the state’s measurable highly qualified teacher objectives. The 2011-2012 Highly Qualified Teacher Reports for LEAs and individual campuses are available on the Texas Education Agency (TEA) NCLB Program Coordination website at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/nclb/hqreport.html. This public reporting process is to occur no later than December 15, 2011.

NCLB also requires that the LEA publicly report the annual progress of the LEA and each campus served by the LEA in meeting the state’s measurable highly qualified teacher objectives. The LEA should compare the data reported by the LEA to these state annual targets to determine the LEA’s progress in these areas. The LEA must report both campus and LEA data in comparison to targets for the 2011-2012 school year.
