Who We Are

The New Teacher Project (TNTP) is a national nonprofit founded by teachers that helps school districts and states fulfill the promise of public education by ensuring that all students-especially those from high-need communities-get excellent teachers. TNTP develops customized programs and policy interventions that enable education leaders to find, develop and keep great teachers and achieve reforms that promote effective teaching in every classroom.

What We Offer

TNTP offers a motivated team of dynamic colleagues, a collegial atmosphere that values professional development and valuable feedback, a comprehensive benefits plan - including low cost medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, flexible spending account options, generous vacation time, a 403(b) plan with matching, competitive salaries and the potential for performance based bonuses. TNTP also offers the chance to impact the direction of a growing, mission-driven company that is committed to the success of our nation's children.

Our Policy Work

Improving teacher quality is one of the most powerful ways-if not the most powerful way-to ensure that students learn and succeed. But our nation's education systems fail to prioritize the goal of an effective teacher in every classroom. For decades, schools have operated within a policy framework that assumes one teacher is about the same as another. These deeply entrenched policies and practices prevent school districts and states from hiring, developing and retaining effective teachers-or even identifying who they are. TNTP's policy staff work on the ground with states and districts to identify the root causes of their teacher quality challenges. Drawing upon TNTP's extensive experience with urban districts, the team provides practical, non-partisan recommendations for reform and builds the case for change.
