Data

A note on data quality - States had difficulty reporting on the
professional development question in their Comprehensive State
Performance Reports.  Many found the question vague and their systems
were often not set up to capture these data.  The Title IIA program will
collect this data in the future using a survey designed to avoid
problems with definitions.

[^1]: \"High objective uniform state standard of evaluation\" (HOUSSE)
    is a key component to the highly qualified teacher definition.
    Essentially, it can be used to assess an existing teacher\'s
    subject-matter competency as an alternative to an examination,
    major, major equivalency, graduate degree or advanced certification
    in the core content area taught.
