The Daemen College Teacher / Leadership Quality Partnership (T/LQP) project provides professional development opportunities for administrators, pre- and in-service teachers to ensure that Buffalo educators have the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to help all students learn. Success is measured by accurately documenting gains in student achievement and by meeting demanding program and professional standards.

Use disaggregated student achievement data to inform instruction, and to document the effectiveness of professional development opportunities provided by our project.
Promote equity, using research proven strategies, such as Generating Expectations for Student Achievement (GESA).
Increasing the retention rates of teachers and principals in the targeted high-need schools.
