States can develop an
additional way for current
teachers to demonstrate subject - matter competency and meet highly qualified
teacher requirements through a
process called High, Objective, Uniform State Standard of
Evaluation (HOUSSE).
For some
teachers, passing the applicable certification tests has not been enough to meet the requirements for demonstrating competency in the subjects taught, thus forcing those
teachers to pass
additional certification tests, or, if they are «experienced
teachers,» to complete a
process known as a High Objective Uniform Standard of
Evaluation (HOUSE).
