The term “out-of-field” refers to teachers who hold certification in a different area than they are teaching. All of the teachers included on this list are working towards completing the requirements to become certified in the appropriate area.

Teachers who are out-of-field in only ESOL or Gifted are certified in the core subject that is being taught, but are required to complete specific courses in order to provide instruction to students who are English Language Learners or identified as being Gifted.
