Teacher Qualifications

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires schools to offer parents with children in Title I schools additional information about the teaching staff each year. Specifically, you have the right to ask for information about the professional qualifications of your child's classroom teacher, including:

1.  whether the teacher has met Wisconsin licensing criteria to serve the grade assigned,
2.  whether the teacher is teaching under an emergency or provisional status, and
3.  the undergraduate and graduate field of study of the teacher;
4.  and the professional qualifications of a paraprofessional providing services to your child.
