  33. HiQ - What’s It Good For? • “Narrow” point of view... • … HiQ reveals the percentage of “highly-qualified” educators for reporting to USDOE and the State of Georgia

  34. HiQ - What’s It Good For? • Thinking outside of the box... • … HiQ exposes mis-alignment of teaching credentials to subjects/grades being taught

  35. HiQ - “Alignment” • Opportunities for realignment of teaching assignments • Opportunities for professional development when available workforce lacks sufficient credentials

  36. HiQ - “What-if”... • HiQ might be used by a school system to compare the current workforce to future needs • HiQ might be used by a teacher to ask • “what can I teach” right now… • “what could I teach if”...

  37. HiQ - “What-if”... • An “expanded” HiQ might ask... • Where are we assigning educators out-of-field?(Not limited to those teaching NCLB core subjects)
