What is meant by a “high percentage” of teachers who are teaching outside their field or whose credentials are not permanent?
Since NCLB requires all teachers to be “highly qualified” by 2005-06, the percentage of these teachers has declined, but has not reached zero. Applicants will be required to report the percentage of teachers they have in both categories. Based on the 2005-2006 report of the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing on teacher supply, which shows that 94.9% of teachers statewide are fully credentialed, 5% or more teachers in the categories above can be deemed to be a “high percentage.” LEAs with a lower percentage will not be disqualified if the proposal shows a reason for the lower number and explains how the highest need teachers will be given priority.
