In response to a March 31 letter from the U.S. Secretary of Education, technical assistance and suggestions from the field, this addendum updates NCLB NYS Field Memo #05-2003, as revised in January 2004, on the high objective uniform State standard of evaluation (HOUSSE).

• It adds items to clarify the HOUSSE.
   
• To give teachers additional options for demonstrating their subject matter competency, it changes the HOUSSE rubric in Appendix D–Part 1 for “elementary” teachers and the HOUSSE rubric in Appendix D-Part 2 for “middle/secondary” teachers.
