Abstract
As noted by a number of chapter authors, quality teachers have been identified as the most consequential in-school resource to support student achievement. Acknowledging the importance of teacher quality, 2002 federal legislation established the standard that all children would be taught in the core academic subjects by “highly qualified” teachers in the 2005-06 academic year (No Child Left Behind Act P.L. 107-110, 2002).
