In a letter from 2005, then-Secretary of Education Magaret Spellings wrote on the NCLB provisions about what it means to be "highly qualified." The letter can be found here. After you read it, I would highly recommend that you try to look up your state's definition to what makes a "highly qualified" teacher. Do you agree with the requirements? What do you think makes a teacher a quality one?
Here is an example from the state of New Mexico. If you cannot find your state's definition, please share your feelings about this definition. Is it adequate to justify that a teachers is "highly qualified?" What additional measures should be in place to determine the level of quality of these teachers?
