Congress has appropriated approximately $3 billion a year through the Title II, Part A (Title II), of NCLBA for teacher improvement programs since the law was passed. With the deadline approaching for all teachers to meet the requirements, GAO was asked to examine (1) the status of state efforts to meet NCLBA's teacher qualification requirements, (2) the use of Title II funds in selected districts, and (3) how the U.S. Department of Education (Education) monitors states and assists them with implementation of the requirements. To obtain this information, GAO reviewed teacher qualifications data submitted to Education by 47 states, conducted site visits to 6 states selected for variance in factors such as teacher requirements and geographic location, visited 11 school districts across these states identified as high-need, and interviewed national experts and Education officials. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-25/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-25.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-25/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-25.pdf GAO-06-25 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-25 Other Written Product GAO-06-25; No Child Left Behind Act: Improved Accessibility to Education's Information Could Help States Further Implement Teacher Qualification Requirements; Aid for education Educational standards Educational testing Employment requirements Federal/state relations Funds management Monitoring Teacher education Professional development Public Law 107-110
