Highly Qualified Data Collection

Highly Qualified On-line System (HQOS)

The system is available at: https://cdeapps.cde.state.co.us/hqos/faces/hqos/home.jspx

HQOS is a password protected system. Respondent forms are available on the CDE website. Because there are two different HR collections, we need to have two different passwords.

• For districts/BOCES to enter general education teacher plans, go to: https://cdeapps.cde.state.co.us/hq_district_respondent_form.htm
• For administrative units to enter special education teacher plans. This one must be signed by the special education director. The URL is: https://cdeapps.cde.state.co.us/hq_au_respondent_form.htm

The HR collections and HQOS work in tandem. If any core content teachers are flagged as non-HQ in the HR collection, then an error is generated. You will either need to correct your data submission in HR or enter HQOS. Within HQOS, the reason(s) why each teacher is not highly qualified is listed and options to fix that specific situation are offered. HQOS enables districts and AUs to submit (1) an individualized plan on how the teacher will become HQ within the next year or (2) HOUSSE information for teachers so that they will appear on the HR collection as HQ. CDE will then review the record – giving approval or providing additional feedback on necessary changes. Once a record is approved in HQOS, you can resubmit your HR data to ADE and should no longer receive the HQ error. All records must be approved in order for you to finalize your HR data.
