The National Council on Teacher Quality, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization headquartered in Washington, DC, is requesting pricing estimates for the printing of 52 individual reports. This is an informal process and NCTQ reserves the right to select the printer of its choice, for any reasons. These reports comprise the NCTQ State Yearbook project. Each state will receive a full-length, individual report on the status of their progress on 20+ teacher quality goals. A national summary report will also be produced. Files will be provided in high-resolution Adobe Acrobat export format or Adobe InDesign. NCTQ has high standards for print quality but, as a non-profit organization, must keep costs reasonable and affordable. This report is considered a groundbreaking effort and will generate significant national media attention.
