manageable and good for
developing relationships.
Highly Qualified Teacher
Required for all certified staff members
For example, for me
Course: Professional Growth Effectiveness Coach
Course Range: Middle School
Course Core Content – Non NCLB Core Content
Highly Qualified Calculator is found at
https://wd.kyepsb.net/EPSB.WebApps/HQCalculator/.
You will need to know your teacher certification. You can
look this up at http://www.kyepsb.net (EPSB )

Click on KY Educator Certification Inquiry – left side
How do I determine whether the course I teach is a
“core academic subject” and falls under the NCLB’s
“highly qualified” teacher requirements?
NCLB defines “core academic subject” as English;
reading/language arts (Kentucky’s “reading/writing”);
mathematics; science; foreign languages; civics and
government (Kentucky’s “political science”); economics,
history, and geography (all of which fall under Kentucky’s
“social studies”); and arts (Kentucky’s “art” and “music”).
The following courses are not considered to be part of the
English/reading/language arts core content: speech,
journalism, yearbook, drama, theater, and debate.
The following courses are not considered to be part of the
History, Civics/Government, Economics, and Geography
core content: sociology, psychology, and humanities.
Special Education
I am a special education teacher trying to use the
Highly Qualified Teacher Calculator to determine my
“highly qualified” status. How do I list my certification
on the calculator?
The Highly Qualified Teacher Calculator includes a
special education category on screen 2. On screen
3 you should check the type of special education
certificate that you have.
If you teach in a self-contained classroom or you are
a resource teacher for special education students,
you must meet the “highly qualified” teacher
requirements for each of the core academic subjects
you teach.
Parent Involvement Logs
Title 1 requires Parent Involvement Logs to be
submitted three times a year.
Logs will be stored on Sharepoint
Shared Documents
We will use the same log all year, so it will not be
necessary to have more than one folder.
Continue to update the original document for each
teacher.
Parent Compacts/Parent
Learning Nights
Parent Compacts must be completed in person.
Team Leaders will maintain Digital Log on
Sharepoint of compacts completed and a
binder of the actual documents.
Parent Learning Nights – this is our opportunity to
reach out and help educate our parents and
showcase our students and school.
Title 1
There is power in unity.
