The highly qualified requirements for special
education teachers, as set forth in the 2004 Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and No Child Left Behind Act
(NCLB) are complex and it is important that special educators
understand how these requirements affect them and their practice.
It is essential that the critical role special education teachers
fulfill in the delivery of instruction be understood. Special education
teachers exemplify the highest level of educational competence. The
knowledge and skills licensed special education teachers possess enables
them to develop individualized curriculum, effective learning
strategies, and appropriate assessments for a wide range of students
with disabilities in a variety of settings. Special educators have
knowledge of liberal arts and general content area curriculum, pedagogy,
and the effect of culture and language impact on student learning. These
highly skilled educators are essential to the effective delivery of
instruction to children and youth with disabilities.
To assist educators in determining the background special education
teachers need to be deemed highly qualified, CEC has created a
comprehensive, easy-to-use resource covering all aspects of this issue.
Each part of the document builds on the preceding information, so
educators can understand the law, terminology, how IDEA and
NCLB intersect, and the requirements special educators must meet
to be deemed highly qualified in different settings.
