Barnett Berry
Center for Teaching Quality
"Teacher Leader Preparation in Top Performing Nations"
Barnett
Berry is Founder, Partner, and CEO at the Center for Teaching Quality
(CTQ), a national nonprofit organization based in Carrboro, North Carolina. Created in
1999, CTQ focuses on teachers transforming teaching for the
benefit of all students.
In 2003, CTQ launched the nation's first virtual network of teacher leaders. The CTQ Collaboratory now welcomes teachers (and all who support teachers as leaders) to connect, learn, and collaborate to drive change. Barnett is a former classroom teacher, think tank analyst, and university professor. Collaborating with twelve accomplished teachers, he outlined a bold vision for the profession's future in TEACHING 2030: What We Must Do for Our Students and Our Public Schools... Now and in the Future (Teachers College Press, 2011). His second book, Teacherpreneurs: Innovative Teachers Who Lead but Don't Leave, written with Ann Byrd and Alan Wieder, was published by Jossey-Bass in August 2013. Barnett's conviction: Our public schools will not realize their promise without drawing on the expertise of the excellent teachers we have right now. Today’s accomplished teachers have the potential to lead the transformation of teaching and learning for all students.
