Fall 2008
NCLB Supplement to the Administration Manual for the
BEDS Personnel Data Form for Teachers
The No Child Left Behind Act
of 2001 (NCLB) and the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA) as reauthorized in 2004 require
virtually all public school teachers of core academic
subjects to meet the federal definition of highly
qualified. The only exceptions are teachers who are
eligible for extended deadlines, as explained in Item A5
of NCLB NYS Field Memo #03-2008, which is available at
www.highered.nysed.gov/nclbhome.htm. Teachers who are not highly
qualified in fall 2008 must be making progress toward
becoming highly qualified as soon as possible pursuant
to their local educational agency’s (LEA’s) plan to
ensure that 100 percent of core classes are taught by
highly qualified teachers.
