TLN Forum is CTQ’s inaugural virtual community, established in 2003 as a network of accomplished teacher leaders from the Southeast, and now expanded to include more than 300 representatives from 40 states. Forum participants share their stories as they explore critical issues facing America’s schools and the teaching profession. Membership is both inclusive and diverse, representing America's best public school teachers across every grade and teaching assignment, in every kind of school setting. Unlike most of CTQ’s communities, the TLN Forum has not been tied to a specific timeline or work product; however, numerous members participate in specific projects by providing virtual mentoring, developing policy papers on critical issues, speaking out in the “blogosphere,” influencing policymakers, offering advice to national organizations and associations, organizing collaborative action research projects, and building leadership networks in their own communities and states. TLN Forum is joining forces as a New Millennium Initiative community  in early 2011, which will result in numerous new products and outcomes for the veteran teacher team, representing the growing communities of Teacher Leaders Network.
