Held on Wednesday, April 30, 2008, 3:00pm–4:30 p.m. ET
On Wednesday, April 30, 2008, the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality hosted a live, interactive webcast, "Supporting Progress in Meeting the Highly Qualified Teacher (HQT) Requirements of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act."
A recording of the live webcast will be made available for viewing. Please check back for updates.
Topic Overview
This webcast supported regional comprehensive centers (RCCs) and state education agencies in their efforts to move from planning to action through the implementation of their state highly qualified teacher plans.
This webcast expanded the monitoring conversation to focus on how RCCs, their states, institutions of higher education, and other organizational partners can continue to meet the HQT requirements of NCLB through strategies identified in many state plans. These strategies included data analysis, working with local education agencies, accountability provisions, and equitable teacher distribution. The National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality discussed several technical assistance opportunities for RCCs and states, such as assisting states with the identification of educator quality challenge areas and providing feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of state plans in relation to the U.S. Department of Education's monitoring protocols.
