Report Says Hawaii Fails to Keep New Teachers

HONOLULU -- A national look at teacher quality gives Hawaii bad marks for not supporting new teachers or retaining good ones, according to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

The State Teacher Policy Yearbook said most states do a poor job evaluating and keeping good teachers.


About 2,900 public-school teachers in Hawaii are not considered qualified by the federal government, according to a private consultant.

That means about 22 percent of the state's 13,000 public-school teachers do not qualify under the No Child Left Behind law
