This U.S. Department of Education report includes key findings about teacher quality and promising practices for addressing teacher quality requirements under No Child Left Behind. For more information on the Secretary's Report, click on the URL link below. Downlad a PDF version of the report: Meeting the Highly Qualified Teachers Challenge: The Secretary's Third Annual Report on Teacher Quality States receiving Title I, Part A funds must develop a plan to ensure that all teachers of core academic subjects are highly qualified no later than the end of the 2005-2006 school year. Each school district must ensure that all teachers of core academic subjects hired after the first day of the 2002-2003 school year, and teaching in programs supported with Title I, Part A funds, already are highly qualified. The district must also have a plan describing how it will meet the State's annual measurable objectives. Highly Qualified has been defined as holding a bachelor's degree in the subject taught, passing a rigorous state test, and holding a teaching credential. States are establishing specific criteria for this provision and plans for strengthening teacher quality in all their schools.
