Do long-term substitutes have to meet the Highly Qualified definition?
Title I of NCLB requires that parents must be notified if their child has received instruction for 4 or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not Highly Qualified, this would include long-term substitutes. Hence, as outlined in USDE guidance, we recommend encouraging long-term substitutes to meet the requirements for a Highly Qualified teacher.
