	Implementation Updates Regarding the Highly Qualified Teacher Initiative
		Teachers with test scores from 1985 or later that are tied to their current teaching certificates may use their certificates as proof of passing scores on the test.
		Teachers with test scores that pre-date 1985 or whose scores are not connected to obtaining a certificate (i.e., special education teachers who took an elementary NTE/Praxis) should add a line to their Statements of Assurance (Form G) indicating what test they took, the year, and that the scores are no longer available.
		Only those special education teachers who are providing direct instruction in academic content in self-contained or resource/replacement settings must satisfy the federal requirement to demonstrate their status as a highly qualified teacher at this time.
