In response to the need to capture this information from teachers, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) has developed an online system to gather the required information from teachers. Prior to logging into the online HOUSSE teachers should have knowledge of the type, date(s), and subject area(s) shown on their licenses; copies of all college transcripts; professional development verification; and documentation of any activities, services, awards, or presentations related to the core subject they plan to instruct. no 6:25 Highly Qualified Requirements for Indiana Teachers http://www.doe.in.gov/media/podcast/2006-06-hqt.m4v Tue, 11 Jul 2006 07:48:20 -0400 highly-qualified-requirements-for-indiana-teachers dgilroy@doe.in.gov As a provision of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, states must take action to ensure that every student has access to a highly qualified teacher.

The following video is a presentation of the highly qualified teacher requirements for Indiana teachers. The intent of the video is to help educators and administrators understand the highly qualified requirements that teachers are required to meet per NCLB. no 20:39 Pandemic Flu Preparation http://media.doe.in.gov/sservices/PandemicFlu.m4v Thu, 27 Apr 2006 14:37:19 -0400 pandemic-flu-preparation dgilroy@doe.in.gov Provided as a companion-piece to the Indiana Department of Education's Pandemic Flu Information Center, this video message from Superintendent of Public Instruction Suellen Reed and Health Commissioner Judith Monroe is designed to assist Indiana's schools and families in learning about and preparing for a possible flu pandemic. no 9:33 Choices Video http://media.doe.in.gov/sservicesChoices.m4v The video was produced by the Indiana Department of Education in partnership with Indiana Project Safe Neighborhoods and the Office of the United States Attorney for Southern District of Indiana.
