  9. Questions?

  10. What is Highly Qualified (HQ)? • Teachers in certain “core” subjects must be HQ, which means they are: • Certified AND • Assigned to their area of certification, with limited flexibility • Core Subjects are: • English, reading, language arts • Math • Sciences • Social Studies • Foreign languages • Arts (art, dance, music, theater, public speaking, drama) Special Education teachers must show they know the core subjects they are teaching for credit if they have a general K-12 certificate

  11. HQ Flexibility • Limited flexibilityexists to assign teachers outside of their certification • Teachers can teach ONE period per day outside of certification • Elementary teachers at the Middle School can teach Math, Science, English, and Social Studies in Grades 7 & 8 • Self-contained Special Education teachers can teach all core subjects to special education students • These teachers must “demonstrate subject matter competency” to show they know their out of field subject(s) • This only applies to core subjects, not different student populations, i.e., General Education teachers can’t teach Special Ed students and vice versa • ONLY teachers in these three instances above can teach outside of their certification area

  12. Demonstrating Subject Matter Competency for Out of Certification Assignments • Holding an undergraduate or graduate degree or its equivalent in the subject; OR • Passing a Content Specialty Test (CST) in the subject or a NYC Board of Examiners test in the subject; OR • For teachers hired before 8/31/07, using the HOUSSE (High Objective Uniform State Standard of Evaluation) • HOUSSE is a rubric that enables teachers to demonstrate subject matter competency using education, credentials, teaching experience and professional development • Teachers can access HOUSSE with their name, file # and SSN at http://www.nycenet.edu/offices/dhr/housse

  13. Determining if a Teacher is HQ • Annual BEDS Survey & Report determines if a teacher is HQ • BEDS was open from November 14th – January 18th this year • Reports were available to print through February 29th

  14. No $$$ Reassign teachers to classes consistent with their certification area, when possible May Require $$$ - Title I Schools have 5% HQ Set-Aside For only those needing to demonstrate subject matter competency, you can use HOUSSE, the appropriate Content Specialty Test, or a major in the subject Help teacher gain additional certification in the assignment area using your Title I 5% set aside Certification Specialists at your local ISC can assist in determining if your non-HQ teacher is eligible for the Conversion Program *Teachers cannot be excessed on the basis of their Non-HQ status Options for Non-HQ Teachers

  15. Common HQ Questions • Can Elementary teachers can teach at Middle School level? • YES, only in Math, Science, English and Social Studies, and they must demonstrate subject matter competency in the subject(s) they teach. • Can Elementary teachers teach the Arts and be HQ? • NO. Arts cluster teachers must have arts certification to be HQ. • Can a Science teacher teach any science and be HQ? • NO. Science teachers must be certified for their specific science at the HS level. Any science certificate is valid at the Middle School. • Can a General Ed teachers teach a self-contained class for one period a day? • NO. Special Ed teachers must teach self-contained classes. HQ applies to “subjects” not different student populations. • Can only teachers listed as “Take HOUSSE App” on your BEDS reports take HOUSSE? • YES, with one exception: Teachers must be listed as “Take HOUSSE App” on your BEDS reports take HOUSSE. Teachers listed as not HQ cannot take HOUSSE to become HQ. The one exception is that Special Education teachers can take HOUSSE for core subjects they may teach in the future. • Why is my teacher not HQ? I thought they had certification in their assignment area. • If a teacher’s certificate has expired, they may no longer be HQ. Once they have a new, valid certificate, they will become HQ again. Please help them get certified. • How will my BEDS Survey be used? • NY State uses your BEDS Survey to determine Highly Qualified status, class size, and other key data for your school. Accuracy is important!
