NCLB Reporting

Texas Education Agency (TEA) requires school districts to publish their NCLB Highly Qualified teacher reports in a public domain.  These reports represent longitudinal data of the overall district and of the individual campuses in Bastrop ISD. 

To be considered highly qualified, the teacher must:  have a bachelor’s degree, demonstrate competency by passing the required content test or having an academic major or 24 hours in the subject area being taught.

The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Highly Qualified requirements for teachers should not be confused with the State’s teacher certification requirements.  There is no connection between the two.  For example, a teacher could be certified but not highly qualified according to NCLB.
