Barnett Berry is founder, partner, and CEO of the Center for Teaching Quality,[1][2] specializing in the development and implementation of innovative teaching practices. He is co-author of two books: TEACHING 2030: What We Must Do for Our Students and Our Public Schools... Now and in the Future (Teachers College Press, 2011)[3][4] and Teacherpreneurs: Innovative Teachers Who Lead but Don't Leave (Jossey-Bass, 2013).[5] He has written and contributed to more than 80 education journal articles and book chapters and maintains a regular blog on "Advancing the Teaching Profession" on the Center for Teaching Quality website and continues to work to advance the teaching profession, spanning from teacher recruitment and preparation to how teaching effectiveness is evaluated and rewarded.

Education

Barnett Berry received his B.A. in Sociology from the University of South Carolina in 1977 and continued there to receive his M.Ed. Curriculum in 1978. He received his Ph.D. Educational Administration and Policy Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1984.

Career

Barnett Berry began his career as a public high school social studies teacher in Columbia, SC where he taught for three years.[6] After completing his doctorate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Berry joined the RAND Corporation as an Associate Social Scientist where he worked with Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond.

In 1987, Berry became the Associate Director of the South Carolina Educational Policy Center at the University of South Carolina before moving on to become Senior Executive in the Division of Policy at the South Carolina State Department of Education in 1991. From 1992-1999, he served as Associate Professor in the College of Education at the University of South Carolina.

In 1998, Berry was named Director, Policy and State Relations, for the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future (NCTAF) at Teachers College, Columbia University where he then became Interim Director (2001-2002).[7][8]

Berry founded the Southeast Center for Teaching Quality in 1999 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,[9] which would later become known as the Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ). Over its 16-year history, CTQ has evolved from a think tank supporting teaching as a profession to an action tank for teacher leadership. 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.
