The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) emphasizes teacher quality in improving student achievement. NCLB legislation requires that each State Educational Agency (SEA) develop and implement a plan to work with local educational agencies (LEAs) to ensure public school teachers are highly qualified. NCLB requires LEAs to ensure all public elementary school teachers are highly qualified to teach the basic elementary school curricula, and that junior high, middle and secondary school teachers are highly qualified to teach each core academic subject for which they are providing the primary instruction. Core academic subjects (CAS) are as follows: English, reading or language arts, mathematics, science, civics and government, economics, history, geography, fine arts and foreign languages.
