Foundation for Excellence in Education Applauds Chiefs for Change States’ High Marks on the NCTQ State Teacher Policy Yearbook
Tallahassee, FL– The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) released its annual State Teacher Policy Notebook, a 9,000 page analysis grading states on the adoption of teacher evaluation and other teacher improvement measures. Five Chiefs for Change states – including Florida, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Indiana – received the highest grades NCTQ has ever awarded.
“The members of Chiefs for Change are committed to visionary education reform that puts children first,” said Patricia Levesque, Executive Director of the Foundation for Excellence in Education. “The high marks from such a rigorous analysis like NCTQ’s State Teacher Policy Yearbook validates these important state reforms.”
For the last five years, NCTQ has published an annual State Teacher Policy Yearbook. The 2011 edition contains over 9,000 pages of analysis covering 51 state volumes and a national overview report. The yearbook takes a comprehensive look at the state policies that shape the teaching profession, including evaluation, accountability, and teacher improvement.
