The Coalition for Teaching Quality (CTQ) represents national, state, and local organizations committed to the principle that federal policy must ensure all students have access to diverse teachers and school leaders who enter the profession well prepared to succeed and prove themselves effective once there.

Together, we represent a diverse spectrum of civil rights, disability, parent, student, community, educator and education policy, and research organizations. CTQ unites these voices in support of ensuring that all students have access to profession-ready teachers, with a particular emphasis on making certain that impactful, effective, diverse, certified teachers are in the classrooms of students in high-need schools.
