This rubric is designed for use by a trained school support team to assess a school's current level of implementation of nine performance standards. This rubric was developed and revised by the Colorado Department of Education as part of Colorado's School Support System (CS3).
In accordance with Sec. 1119 of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), Colorado defines "Highly Qualified" Teachers as teachers that are fully licensed and able to demonstrate subject matter competency in all core academic areas in which they are assigned.
