Abstract	In a letter dated June 1, 2006, Utah informed the U.S. Department of Education (ED) of its intention to carefully and thoughtfully revise its Highly Qualified Teacher (HQT) plan with the aim of achieving the goal set in the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of having all teachers meet highly qualified (HQ) requirements by the end of the 2006-2007 school year. The date set by ED for submission of revised plans (July 7, 2006) did not provide sufficient time for Utah to engage in the processes that were deemed necessary for the development of a coherent and potentially successful plan. Utah's letter, acknowledged and accepted by ED, notified ED of its intention to follow a time line that would result in submission of a plan that met ED's requirements by October 1, 2006. A preliminary outline of Utah's Revised HQ Plan was submitted to ED on July 7, 2006 (Appendix 1). By taking additional time, Utah has been able to carefully and thoughtfully develop its HQT plan. The state engaged in a process that gave ample opportunity for the diverse voices in Utah's education community to express opinions and contribute ideas relative to each of the revision requirements created by ED. Utah believes that its process has resulted in a plan that supports schools and districts in the state's goal and ongoing effort to ensure that each child in a Utah public school receives high quality instruction throughout the public school experience. At the same time, the state's plan will significantly increase the percentage of teachers who meet the highly qualified requirements of NCLB. This report presents: Review of the September 1, 2003 Highly Qualified Teacher Goals included in the Consolidated State Plan. The report also contains: Requirement 1: Analysis of Highly Qualified Results; Requirement 2: Current Highly Qualified Assignment Status and Goals; Requirement 3: SEA Plans for Technical Assistance to LEAs; Requirement 4: SEA Plans to Support LEAs Not Achieving Goals; Requirement 5: SEA Plans for Completion of HOUSSE; and Requirement 6: Utah Equity Plan. (Contains 9 tables, 1 chart, and 14 appendices.) (ERIC).
