Since implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), all teachers are required to meet state certification or licensing requirements at the grade level and subject area in which the teacher has been assigned. ESSA modified the previous mandate of meeting Highly Qualified teacher requirements under NCLB by increasing the flexibility for States to define the qualification requirements for state certification or licensure. ESSA also expanded the requirement from teachers of core subject areas to all teachers in all subjects. Hawaii, in consultation with stakeholder groups, has determined that any one of the following methods will qualify teachers as ESSA Hawaii Qualified (EHQ) for his/her teaching assignment::
- Holds a valid HTSB License
in the subject area (or a content equivalent
area identified for EHQ) and grade level for
the teaching assignment or
- holds a valid HTSB License
in any subject area for the grade span
assigned and also meets one of the
requirements under the following methods:
- Passed the Praxis
Content Exam or other accepted content
exam for the subject area and grade span
or
- National Board
Certificate for the subject area or
- College major or 30
credits in the subject area or
- Demonstrate experience
and knowledge through a completed ESSA
Hawaii Qualified Teacher Rubric in the
subject area or
- Hawaii issued Highly
Qualified Teacher certificate in the
subject area
