Publications Database

In the last several years alone, hundreds of books and articles about teacher quality and leadership quality issues have been written. Using standardized criteria to evaluate many of these publications, Learning Point Associates has assembled a database with detailed information about many of the most significant teacher quality publications of the past 20 years.

The TQ Source publications database houses information for publications in the following issue areas: preparation, recruitment and retention, certification and licensure, accountability and advancement, and leadership.

This database is updated monthly. Nearly all records are for articles and reports published within the past twenty years; in the updating process, Learning Point Associates regularly archives older records. Contact Learning Point Associates if you are looking for information on a publication that is more than 20 years old or if you would like to view the publications archives.
