The National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality (TQ Center) is a national resource to which the regional comprehensive centers, states, and other education stakeholders turn for strengthening the quality of teaching—especially in high-poverty, low-performing, and hard-to-staff schools—and for finding guidance in addressing specific needs, thereby ensuring highly qualified teachers are serving students with special needs.

The National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality was launched on October 2, 2005, after Education Commission of the States, ETS, Learning Point Associates, and Vanderbilt University entered into a five-year cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Education to operate the teacher quality content center. The TQ Center is one of five national content centers that provide technical assistance for regional comprehensive centers in conjunction with their work with state departments of education and related agencies.
