  2. Lake Worth Independent School District Who Must be Highly Qualified? • The requirement that teachers be highly qualified applies to all public elementary or secondary school teachers employed by a local educational agency who teach a core academic subject. • Has obtained full Texas teacher certification, including appropriate special education certification for special education teachers, and has not had certification requirements waived on an emergency, temporary, or provisional basis. • Holds a minimum of a bachelor’s degree; and • Has demonstrated subject matter competency in each of the academic subjects in which the teacher teaches, in a manner determined by TEA.

  3. Lake Worth Independent School District What is Meant by “Core Academic Subjects?” The term “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. TEA has defined “arts” as music (including band and choir), art, theatre, dance, and other courses accepted by SBOE for graduation credit in Fine Arts.

  4. Lake Worth Independent School District Highly Qualified versus State Certification The NCLB definition of “highly qualified” does not completely align to the current state certification structure and assignment rules. Teachers who are allowed to teach certain courses under state certification and assignment rules may not meet the definition of “highly qualified.” Also, teachers who do meet the definition of “highly qualified” may require a permit under the current state certification structure.

  5. Lake Worth Independent School District Parent Notification Requirement Any campus that receives Title 1, Part A funds must provide to each individual parent timely notice in the event that the parent’s child has been assigned, or has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not “highly qualified.”
