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.

Highly Qualified Requirements for Indiana TeachersAs 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. NCLB requires each State Educational Agency (SEA) to develop and implement a plan to help local educational agencies (LEAs) within the state ensure that all public school teachers, including teachers employed by agencies or entities under the authority of the SEA, are highly qualified. 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.
