A highly qualified teacher is a teacher who is fully licensed by the state, has at least a bachelor's degree and has demonstrated competency in each subject taught. Virginia's licensure regulations – with their emphasis on content knowledge – require new teachers to far exceed the federal highly qualified standard. Under limited circumstances, some special education teachers and teachers not new to the profession may demonstrate that they are highly qualified through Virginia's High Objective Uniform State Standard of Evaluation (HOUSSE).
