Description
Introduction The concept of "highly qualified teacher" is of great importance in educational reform, generally, and in reading instruction, specifically. It is well known that the teacher is the key to the learning process of students in classrooms. Impetus was given to implementation of the meaning of the concept by the impact of two federal initiatives. First, attention was drawn to the phrase "highly qualified teacher" by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) which stipulated that "any new teacher hired and working in a program supported by Title I funds had to meet requirements as a "highly qualified teacher" Secondly, the ESEA was succeeded by the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) which required all Legal Education Agents (LEAs) to ensure that all elementary school teachers were highly qualified to teach basic elementary school curricula. In that a specified date, 2005-2006, was set for all LEAs to be in compliance with the provisions of NCLB, the concept became an urgent one as the deadline date approached and arrived.
