Regulations in No Child Left Behind (NCLB) require that all teachers who are listed as the “Teacher of Record” must be highly qualified in that area. Having passed your special education content area AEPA (Cross Cat, LD, MR, etc.) will qualify you for either your intern or provisional certificate, however if you are the “Teacher of Record” who assigns grades to students on the report card then you must also be highly qualified in the content area in which you are assigning the grade.
