"Highly Qualified" Issues

Information on meeting the "highly qualified" standard is available for teachers and paraeducators from the NH Department of Education. If, after reviewing the requirements, NEA-NH members have questions, they should contact the coordinator of public education and school support.

ESEA Task Force

When the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act was being debated by the U.S. Congress, NEA-New Hampshire set up a task force to work analyze the impact of the proposed legislation on our state's schools and educators. The task force published a series of alerts, charts to illustrate the steps to becoming "highly qualified" under the No Child Left Behind Act (as it was renamed) and many other documents. As time passed, these became less relevant to our members and have therefore been removed from our main site. They are still available for those interested in the history of NCLB implementation in New Hampshire.
