HQT Required Forms Teachers who have achieved highly qualified status, whether through federal requirements or the NJ HOUSE, retain highly qualified status permanently for the teaching assignment designated on the approved forms. The required highly qualified forms must be completed, signed off by the teacher’s supervisor and filed in the school or district office. Teachers should retain a copy of the forms for their personal records. When a teacher obtains employment at a new district, the district must contact the previous place of employment to have the teacher’s official highly qualified forms sent to the new employer. The N-8 certificate is no longer being issued. Application for the N-8 certificate terminated on March 1, 2008. For information on the certificates issued for elementary teachers, go to www.nj.gov/education/educators/license.
