Talent Development

CTAC assists states, school districts, and education organizations to achieve their talent development and human capital management goals. Using our expertise and resources, we support strategic analysis and planning to deliver system-wide changes for improvement that make a difference for teachers, leaders, and students.

Teacher and Principal Evaluation

Effective teaching matters. So does effective school leadership. Growing awareness of these facts at both state and district levels is driving national momentum to redesign how teacher and principal effectiveness is assessed, supported and rewarded. CTAC assists states, districts and unions to design, implement and assess new systems which link evaluation, professional development and career pathways. Learn More »

School systems are embracing new approaches to teacher evaluation and compensation that promote and reward teaching effectiveness as the key to student learning.

CTAC helps answer these critical questions through our comprehensive Professional Development Audit. Learn More »
