Teacher Qualifications
In
January 2002, President Bush signed into law the "No Child Left Behind
Act" (NCLB). Specifically, NCLB requires increased accountability,
greater choice for parents, especially in low-performing schools, and
greater flexibility for states and local schools in the use of federal
dollars.
Under NCLB, parents
have a right to know the professional qualifications of their children's
teacher(s). It is the right of a parent to ask for the following information
about each of your child's classroom teachers:
- Whether the State of Iowa has licensed or qualified the teacher for the grades and subjects he or she teaches.
- Whether the teacher is teaching under an emergency or provisional status for which the State of Iowa licensing criteria have been waived.
- The teacher's college major, whether the teacher has any advanced degrees and, if so, the subject of the degrees.
If you would like to receive information regarding your child's teacher, please contact the Human Resource Services Department at (563) 552-3028 or contact us via e-mail at lgratton@dubuque.k12.ia.us. The Dubuque Community School District is committed to the success of your child and we appreciate your partnership in our efforts.
