  1. WVEIS Summer Conference HQT Randall Kirk, WVEIS Programmer Extraordinaire (Shawn L. Hawkins, Teacher Quality Coordinator June 23, 2011)

  2. Highly Qualified Teacher Data Report • Required by No Child Left Behind • Data collected in spring semester • Results issued in late spring/early summer • Basics- • By the end of the 2005-2006 school year, all teachers delivering instruction in the core academic subject areas must meet the NCLB definition of highly qualified teacher. • Teachers must hold a bachelor’s degree or higher; meet certification requirements and; demonstrate subject matter competency. (WVBE Policy 5202)

  3. What is the Process? • Subject Matter Competency • Passing the state competency test for which a state minimum score was established by the WVBE in the content area(s); OR • Having an academic major (Form 26 for special educators) or advanced credential(s) in the subject taught as defined in §126-136-4.4 and §126-136-4.6, respectively; OR • HOUSSE (only an option after 2007-2008 school year for special education teachers). • ***May or may not continue to be available.

  4. Previous Years’ Records • A teacher identified as highly qualified for a subject area in a previous year will have a record that follows them. • Will NOT follow them if they change subject areas • Elem. teachers… continue to schedule the same • If scheduled for English, Reading & Math or Science, teacher will be rolled up into self-contained (unless various exceptionalities and grades.) • A teacher’s employee number must align to their social security number, or they will show as not certified (STU.240 WVEIS File-at school level).

  5. HOUSSE Option Scenario-- If a special education teacher has a classroom where he/she teaches morethan one core subject, AND is certified in the exceptionalities he/she is teaching, THEN the teacher may demonstrate subject matter competency in all other core subjects being taught using HOUSSE, IF he/she demonstrates or has demonstrated subject matter competency in science, English, or mathematics by passing the PRAXIS II, or by having an academic major or advanced credential. **This must be done manually at WVDE (Use Request Review). See WVBE Policy 5202

  6. Substitutes • If you have to place a sub in a classroom: • Continuously keep the position posted in hopes of finding a certified, highly qualified teacher • Place a long-term sub who holds the content area endorsement • If contents do not match, write a waiver request to Dr. Marple if in the classroom for more than 30 days • If you MUST place a short-term sub try to match content with endorsement • If no match is possible, write a waiver immediately

  7. First-Class/Full-Time Permits & Out-of-Field Authorizations • If you have a permit or authorization holding teacher in a classroom: • Will NOT be highly qualified (even if…Praxis II and 21 hours…Must be fully certified • Exception: Title I Reading Teachers who are fully certified in Elementary K-6 or Multi-Subjects K-8 who are on permit or authorization for Reading/Reading Specialist AND have either the Praxis II 0011 for elementary or have been HOUSSEd for self-contained.

  8. Collaborative Teachers • Correct Collaborative WVEIS code 8011, 8013, 8015 & 8017 (use for special education) • Title I teachers must use Title I course code 4809 or 3049 • Correct 6th digit exceptionality code • Must click on the RED NEEDS ASSESSMENT for the not highly qualified message to not show • Will reflect Collaborative • DO NOT place them on a schedule as a teacher of record for a class (Ex. 4003-T), if actually collaborative.

  9. Edit Reports: New for 2011 • Cannot correct from this screen, but helps identify possible correctable issues: • SSN Problem • Course Code Error • Pending Applications • New Praxis Scores

  10. Collection Process • HQT designation will be entered by content area instead of by the entire school list of NCLB core content areas teachers. • This will allow you to divide the work and complete one content area before moving on to another. •  An entire school list will load during the Class Count Phase. • Recommended that you print this as a record for HQT being completed in case you need it at the end of the year for school check-out.

  11. Collection Process • Instructions to access the data collection web site: • Go to http://wveis.k12.wv.us. • Select WVEIS Web Tab. • On the left-hand side, select County, Highly Qualified. • Log In with your WVEIS log in. • Select HQ Check and then Select a School (County Administrators) • You will select the specific school in the county you wish to review. Principals will only be able to view the school to which they are assigned. • Select HQ 2011(on left-hand side). • If you cannot make a selection due to an error or you are not certain how the teacher should be identified, , use Request for Review or on left-hand side select the content again, this will return you to the previous screen. DO NOT use the BACK arrow on the internet toolbar.

  12. Technical Assistance using Request Review • Request a Review • Only after you have tried to figure out why a teacher is not HQT • Review Credentials Button • Is course coded correctly • Is the endorsement eligible to teach the course • Is the teacher fully certified (19, 21, 22 or 65 certificates) **Special exception for Reading Specialist • Praxis II for specific content • Eligibility for Academic Major • Eligibility for HOUSSE

  13. How It Works • Once you Request a Review • You will receive an e-mail that you sent a request • Shawn Hawkins will review and respond ASAP • You will receive an e-mail when review is complete (indicating if request was eligible or ineligible) • The Response will also appear on the Request for Review application

  14. Last Phase of HQT Data Collection- Class Values • Once we have had a period of approximately 1 month for HQ collection (today through March 9th), we ask for Class Update Values (March 16th through April 8th). • Teachers should only be identified for number of periods in one day. • If scheduled with multiple exceptionalities in one class period, a proportional value should be submitted.

  15. Example for Course Update Values • Scheduled for: 7010- B (6 students) 7010-J (1 student) 7010-R (3 students) **But all three are really reflecting one period in the teacher’s day.** • Take a proportion. These three should equal 1 class 7010-B = .60 7010-J = .10 7010-R =.30 • Once class values completed, NO teacher should have greater # of classes than what they teach in one day (periods).

  16. Important (Tentative) HQ Dates • Schedules/Course/Teacher Information (HQT) • Ongoing, schedules pulled every Friday @ 4pm • Superintendent or Designee •  Highly Qualified Teachers (final collection) • January 23rd-March 9th • School Principal •  Highly Qualified Teachers (finalize classes) • March 19th-April 13th • School Principal

  17. WV HQT Results 2010 • West Virginia’s 2010-2011 HQ percentage declined slightly to 91.4%.  The data can be reviewed at the following website. • http://wveis.k12.wv.us/teacher_credentials/highly_credentialed_2011_report_select.cfm • 2009-10  94.1% • 2008-09  93% • 2007-08  91.9% • 2006-07  90.9%
