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 Check Certification Status – left side
 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.
