"Over the last decade, policymakers and researchers increasingly have recognized that teacher quality is the most powerful predictor of student achievement. Despite this growing consensus, too few educational and political leaders agree on how to ensure that every student has access to quality teachers and teaching. The Center for Teaching Quality (formerly the Southeast Center for Teaching Quality) has had a long interest in building more robust teaching quality data systems across states in ways that can inform teaching policy deliberation.
With support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Center for Teaching Quality has developed a Teaching Quality Indicators Roadmap. We believe investing in and building a comprehensive teaching quality data system will help universities, the state, and the nation answer critical questions about how to define a quality teacher and what steps need to be taken to recruit, prepare, and retain them."
