Parents have the right to know: • Is my child’s teacher licensed to teach the grades and subject(s) assigned? • Is my child’s teacher teaching with a provisional license, meaning the state has waived requirements for my child’s teacher? • What is the college major of my child’s teacher? • What degree or degrees does my child’s teacher hold? • If there are instructional aides working with my child, what are their qualifications? • If my child is or will be taught for 4 or more consecutive weeks this year by a teacher who is not highly qualified, will I be notified in a timely manner?
