Do teachers who are conditionally licensed in a subject area pending completion of a program of study considered highly qualifed?
No - they are qualified, but not highly qualified, as they are not fully licensed for the assignment that they hold.
No. Ensuring that all paraprofessionals have the qualifications required in section 1119 of the No Child Left Behind Act is the responsibility of each local school district. A school district should ensure that those paraprofessionals who would demonstrate their competence by passing a locally approved assessment are assessed in ways that meet the requirements of that section.
