…where teachers are central to improving schools 500 Millstone Drive, Suite 102 Hillsborough, NC 27278 www.teachingquality.org About the Center for Teaching Quality Phone: 919-241-1575 Fax: 919-241-1576 During the last decade, policy and business leaders have come to know what parents have always known — teachers make more difference in student achievement than any other single school-based factor. A small non-profit with big ideas, the Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ) elevates the voices of expert teachers into the education policy debates that directly affect the students and communities they serve. CTQ conducts relevant research and informs policymaking. Most importantly, CTQ recognizes, honors, and advances the truth that teachers are central to improving schools. © The Center for Teaching Quality, 2007 http://www.teachingquality.org
