Highly Qualified definition

Highly Qualified status of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) as applicable to the position/subject matter.

Highly Qualified means a teacher has met the specific requirements of ESEA, NCLB, Title IX, Part A, 20 U.S.C. 7801, Section 9101(23) or 34 CFR 200.56.

Highly Qualified. Status of Professional Staff In order for a teacher to have “Highly Qualified” status for a position, the teacher must demonstrate attainment of one or more of the benchmarks identified in the U.S. Dept. of Education’s (DOE) “Highly Qualified” flowchart – or the most recent version thereof including the MDE state-approved option(s). In the event that a teacher submits a portfolio to Human Resources, it will be sent to the District ESEA Advisory Council. For the purpose of portfolio review and approval, only those members of the DEAC who are employees of the District shall serve as the portfolio review committee. Approval of a portfolio shall be based on agreement of a majority of said committee members. Upon approval of the portfolio, Human Resources will notify the appropriate state agency of the employee’s “Highly Qualified” status. Human Resources will annually obtain information from the MDE regarding the “Highly Qualified” status of each teacher, and will advise those who are not so qualified for their current position. Human Resources will also monitor and advise whether a teacher is “Highly Qualified” for a prospective position to which the employee may seek transfer. A teacher must be “Highly Qualified” for his/her current assignment, as required by DOE or MDE laws and regulations. A teacher who has been recognized as “Highly Qualified” under the ESEA by this school district or another Michigan school district shall be recognized as “Highly Qualified” by this school district for the duration of his/her employment. If the definition of “Highly Qualified” changes, the parties will meet, discuss the impact and agree to any needed revisions, excluding District policies relating to prohibited subjects.
