Duration
24 months
Description
The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ), a nonpartisan research and policy organization, works with states and districts to develop teacher policies that support teacher effectiveness and improve their ability to attract, develop, and retain effective educators. State governments and school districts play critical roles in ensuring that all students are taught by effective teachers, but many struggle to identify what sound teacher policies look like and how they might achieve them. NCTQ proposes two projects that address both of these challenges: 1) a State Teacher Policy Yearbook that serves as an annual yardstick and “how to manual” for states seeking to identify and remedy ineffective teacher policies; and 2) the Great Districts for Great Teachers project aimed at identifying and celebrating large school districts with policies and practices that best support high-performing teachers. This proposal supports both projects.
