What is the timeline for all special education teachers to meet the teacher requirements of NCLB and IDEA 2004?
In general, NCLB requires that all teachers (special education and general education) meet the teacher requirements by the end of the 2005-06 school year. (See Section 1119(a)(2) of the NCLB.) On May 12, 2006, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) determined that California has shown a good-faith effort in meeting the teacher requirement goal and extended the timeline to June 30, 2007. Through IDEA the deadline is extended for those new middle and high school special education teachers who are eligible for the flexibility provision, i.e., for two years from the date of employment.
