Abstract: In order to move America toward the goal of ensuring that every student in every public school has equitable access to excellent educators, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) asks each State educational agency (SEA) to submit a plan describing the steps it will take to ensure that "poor and minority children are not taught at higher rates than other children by inexperienced, unqualified, or out-of-field teachers," as required by section 1111(b)(8)(C) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). ED has developed the document titled State Plans to Ensure Equitable Access to Excellent Educators; Frequently Asked Questions to assist SEAs with submitting their State Plans.
