Parent Rights
|
|
Under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, parents have the right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teachers who instruct their children. Federal law allows you to ask for certain information about your child's classroom teachers
and require the district to give you this information in a timely manner. Specifically, you have the right to ask for the following information about each of your child's classroom teachers:
|
-
Whether the Delaware Department of Education has licensed or qualified the teacher for the grade levels and subject matter he or she teachers;
-
Whether the Delaware
Department of Education has decided that the teacher can teach in a
classroom without being licensed or qualified under state regulations
because of special circumstances;
-
The teacher's college major, whether the teacher has any advanced degrees and, if so, the subject of the degrees; and
-
Whether teachers' aides or similar paraprofessionals provide services to parents' children and, if they do, their qualification.
