Date
Jun. 14, 2018
Duration
18 months
Description
Since its inception in 1998, the Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ) has been addressing the lack of collaborative exchanges among educators by connecting teachers and administrators to lead change within schools. CTQ has developed an array of resources, including professional learning, micro-credentials, and virtual teacher communities. With Corporation support, CTQ developed twenty micro-credentials and partnered with local and state agencies. Through this final grant, CTQ will (a) create a playbook for collective leadership, (b) apply the playbook to partnership efforts in up to three districts in South Carolina, and (c) demonstrate how its strategic tools and processes bring collective leadership practice to scale. This effort will complement CTQ’s existing partnerships in South Carolina during 2018-19, maximizing current resources and opportunities to refine playbook materials at state and district levels.

Description
The Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ) serves teachers, school leaders, and systems leaders nationwide, focusing on deepening and assessing the impact of teacher leadership on learning, advancing school designs for teacher leadership and student learning, and developing and marketing a system to spread teachers’ knowledge and skills as leaders of their profession. CTQ cultivates and elevates the skills and expertise of teachers to become professional leaders, utilizes that expertise across its network to incubate and implement new solutions in education, and then disseminates information on those successes to show how teacher leadership benefits schools and students. This grant provides general support for CTQ to advance its five-year strategy, which includes developing competency-based microcredentials and tools to support teacher learning and leadership and partnering with states and districts to demonstrate how those resources fit into a comprehensive human capital strategy.
