A Parent’s Right to Know … Teacher Certification Information is Available to Parents
A parent, under Title II of the No Child Left Behind Act, has the right to know certain information about his/her child’s teacher.
The law specifically requires that parents know …
* whether a teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction;
* whether a teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived; and
* the baccalaureate degree major of a teacher and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree.
The information is readily available by doing an Educator Qualification Search <http://www.scteachers.org/titleii/certinq.cfm> (a clickable link).
