Title I Programs- Teacher/Paraprofessional Qualifications
Since the Arrowhead Union High School District receives federal Title I program funds, parents are afforded the opportunity for special notifications and involvement. It is the desire of the district to establish positive partnerships with families and community. Everyone gains if school, home and community work together to promote high achievement for all students. To that end, the District shall provide a variety of opportunities for families and community to become involved in children’s education.
Additionally, parents and/or guardians may request and obtain information regarding:
1. The professional qualifications of their child’s teachers including – whether the teachers has met state licensing criteria for the grade level(s) and subject area(s) taught; whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or provisional status through which state licensing criteria has been waived; and the undergraduate degree major of the teacher, and any graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, including the field of discipline of the certification or degree.
2. The professional qualifications of paraprofessionals providing instructional-related services to their child.
Parents will be notified if their child is assigned to, or taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not “highly qualified”. This applies to all teachers, not just those who work in Title I programs. Parents will be given information on the achievement level of their child on each of the state academic assessments as soon as is practicably possible after the assessment is taken.
If you want to see the state qualification for your student’s teacher, you may ask personnel at the Board of Education office or access the information on the WI DPI webpage regarding educator licensing.
