Our Vision:
a high-quality education system for all students,
driven by the bold ideas and expert practices of teachers

Cultivating
teacher
leadership
We develop teachers
capacity to lead in both
virtual and face-to-face
professional learning
communities, and go
public with their ideas
about what works for
student learning.

Incubating
new school
designs
We support teachers
and administrators
working together
to redesign schools
to transform learning
for students and
themselves.

Scaling
teacher
leadership
CTQ is pioneering,
with our partner, Digital
Promise, to create
a system of microcredentials that allow
for teachers to lead their
own learning, measure
their impact, and build
demand for a bold brand
of teacher leadership.
