San Francisco, CA (July 22, 2003) — Addressing the need to place highly qualified teachers in every classroom in order to achieve student academic success, the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence announced that organization president, Dr. Kathleen Madigan, will participate in a panel discussion at the National Conference of State Legislatures Annual Conference. Dr. Madigan will discuss the definition of a “highly qualified" teacher and how new innovations in teacher preparation help to recruit and retain qualified individuals into the teaching profession.
What: Keeping Highly Qualified Teachers in the Classroom

And, under the new federal No Child Left Behind Act, every teacher must be “highly qualified" by the 2005-2006 school year. This session, moderated by Rep.
