Districts are asking for HQT applicants for most postings as
there are more teachers available who hold current HQT
status. Do you have a provisional license? How many hours
of special education classes have you completed? I was
offered and accepted a job last year before student teaching
in my classroom to become HQT in special ed. mild/moderate
with alt. cert through the district that hired me. Have you
checked with the local ESC they are usually looking for
teachers? Good luck and I understand your frustration.
