Teacher quality is one of the most important factors in improving student achievement. As a result, federal and state law, as well as Board of Education and Department of Education strategic plans, set the important goal that all students be taught by a "highly qualified teacher" (HQT). A teacher who holds at least a bachelor's degree, has obtained full State certification, and has demonstrated knowledge in the core academic subjects he or she teaches is designated HQT.

The links on the left provide important background information on the Department of Education plan to ensure the following:

Every core academic class taught by a highly qualified teacher and
Poor and minority children are not taught at higher rates than other children by inexperienced, unqualified, or out-of-field teachers.

If you have questions, we will be pleased to respond. Just email us at HQT@notes.k12.hi.us.
