The Teacher Advisory Group (TAG) was formed in 2013 to support NCTQ in its mission by providing consistent and meaningful teacher voice to our work. Teacher Advisors contribute crucial perspectives to the work that NCTQ does, helping to bridge the gap between policy and practice. Members of the TAG hail from diverse backgrounds and varied experiences and all have one thing in common: their passion to improve the educational landscape of their districts, states, and the nation.
