Introduction

In response to a March 31 letter from the U.S. Secretary of Education and related technical assistance and to suggestions from the field, this addendum updates NCLB NYS Field Memo #05-2003, as revised in January 2004, on the high objective uniform State standard of evaluation (HOUSSE).

• It adds items to clarify the HOUSSE.
   
• To give teachers more options for demonstrating their subject matter competency, it changes the rubric in Appendix D–Part 1 for “elementary” teachers and the rubric in Appendix D-Part 2 for “middle/secondary” teachers.

This non-regulatory guidance reflects the New York State Education Department's (SED) interpretation of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001(NCLB) based on the statute and final regulations as well as draft non-regulatory guidance and technical assistance provided by the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) through the date of its publication. This guidance supersedes previous SED guidance, unless otherwise noted, and is subject to change in response to additional federal regulations and guidance. Questions about this guidance should be sent to nclbnys@mail.nysed.gov .
