Notes Regarding the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Highly Qualified Teacher Requirements:
To be "Highly Qualified" for employment to teach at the Elementary level (Grades EC-6), teacher candidates must pass an EC-6 Generalist or 4-8 Generalist Texas Examinations of Educator Standards (TExES) exam. Candidates may take a TExES Generalist exam after completing an initial certification program. Fully certified teachers may register for the additional TExES as "By Exam Only" at the Educational Testing Service (ETS) test registration Web site. Then they may apply at the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC)/Texas Education Agency (TEA) Web site as "Certification by Examination" to add the Generalist certificate. Contact TEA’s NCLB office for further information at 1-512-463-9374 or http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/taa/stanprog012210a.html.
