Center for Improving Teacher Quality (CTQ)

Ensuring That Special Education Students Are Served by Highly Qualified Teachers

In October 2002, the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), through its Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC), was awarded funding from the Office of Special Education Programs at the US Department of Education to develop a national center to work with states on developing models for improving the preparation, licensing, and professional development of both GENERAL and SPECIAL education teachers of students with disabilities. The award totals approximately $5 million over 5 years.

The center builds on INTASC's work of developing model policies that can help states drive systemic reform of their teacher licensing systems, particularly INTASC's Model Standards for Licensing General and Special Education Teachers of Students with Disabilities: A Resource for State Dialogue.
