New Government Data Is Out…

which shows how well states are doing with the Highly Qualified Teacher rules and the NCLB bill.

A quick look at the data shows:

North Dakota with the only state at 100%, but a whole bunch of states are really close to 100%. Alaska has made a massively huge jump in the amount of highly qualified teachers teaching core classes.

When it comes to elementary schools we do not see much difference in the percentage of Highly Qualified Teachers in low and high poverty schools.

When it come to secondary schools we do see in a few states like Alabama, Delaware, and Kansas where we have a massive difference between the high and low poverty schools in the percentage of highly qualified teachers teaching.
