Ann Byrd serves as COO and Partner at the Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ), where she leads organizational strategy, vision, and management efforts so that teachers can transform education. Her work at CTQ—and throughout her career—has been sparked and shaped by her thirteen years teaching high school English and journalism in Lancaster, South Carolina.
Ann served as an instructor with the Teacher Cadet Program—run by Winthrop University’s Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention and Advancement (CERRA) for seven years while maintaining her primary role in the classroom—an experience that gave her firsthand insight into the challenges and rewards of a teacherpreneurial role. In her work with the Teacher Cadet Program, Ann sought to recruit high school seniors into education. She also served in various positions with CERRA as teacher in residence; program director; and executive director, a role she held for six years.
Ann holds a BA in English in secondary education from the University of South Carolina, an MEd in English education from Winthrop University, and an EdD in curriculum and instruction from the University of South Carolina. She earned National Board Certification in English Language Arts for Adolescents and Young Adults (ELA/AYA) in November 2000 and renewed her certification in November 2010. She also served for six years as a member of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards board of directors. Ann continues to be energized by her efforts to ensure that teacher leaders can find ways to lead their profession without having to leave their students.
