In total, 1 percent of classes are not taught by highly qualified teachers. <br /> <br />In order to be considered "highly qualified," a teacher must have a bachelor's degree, a standard certificate for which no requirements have been waived and documentation of content area expertise in each subject taught. <br /> <br />Total numbers from the 2007-08 school year showed a nominal improvement over the previous year, when 1.2 percent of classes were not taught by highly qualified teachers. That improvement is rooted in low-poverty classes, where 1 percent of teachers were not highly qualified in 2006-07. <br /> <br />Still, the gap has shrunk since the 2004-05 school year, when there was a 10 percentage point difference between high- and low-poverty classes taught by teachers who are "highly qualified." In 2006-07 the discrepancy narrowed to 1.6 points before growing to 2.1 percentage points in the most recent school year. "High poverty" is defined as the 25 percent of the schools in the state with the largest percentage of students eligible for free or reduced price lunch, while "low poverty" schools are the 25 percent with the smallest percentage of such students. <br /> <br />The No Child Left Behind law set a goal for states to have 100 percent of their teachers deemed "highly qualified" by 2006, but most states haven't met that goal. <br /> <br />Fifteen of Middlesex County's 25 school districts have reached 100 percent, while three others have 99.5 percent of their teachers considered "highly qualified." <br /> <br />The county school districts with less than 99.5 percent compliance are Carteret (99 percent), Cranbury (98.5), Jamesburg (93), Middlesex Borough (97.5), Middlesex Regional Educational Services Commission (87.5), Old Bridge (98.5) and Spotswood (99). <br /> <br />In Franklin and Rahway, 100 percent of teachers are considered "highly qualified," while 86.5 percent of Linden teachers satisfied the requirements, according to the data. <br /> <br />Statewide, classes with the lowest percentages of "highly qualified" teachers were math, ESL and middle school special education. <br /> <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.mycentraljersey.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080820/NEWS/808200358" target="_blank">http://www.mycentraljersey.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080820/NEWS/808200358</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
