I am not sure what highly qualified shoud be. I think content knowledge is obvious. But teaching is really about more than the content and for many teachers it takes time to figure out what works in the classroom.
Ultimately we don't allow enough time for training and time to gain experience. It has taken me 5 years to figure out the teacher in me. And I still worry about how well I'm doing.
