Does NCLB have any requirements concerning teachers of English learners?
Teachers of English learners must meet the same requirements as other teachers (see below). In addition, teachers hired with Title III funds must be fluent in English and any other language used for instruction. In California, the possession of a Bilingual Cross-Cultural Language and Academic Development (BCLAD) credential or equivalent authorizes a teacher to provide instruction to English learners in a language other than English.
