TNTP

TNTP believes our nation's public schools can offer all children an excellent education. A national nonprofit founded by teachers, we help school systems end educational inequality. We work at every level of the public education system to attract and train talented teachers and school leaders, ensure rigorous and engaging classrooms, and create environments that prioritize great teaching and accelerate student learning. Since 1997, we've partnered with more than 200 public school districts, charter school networks, and state departments of education. We have recruited or trained more than 50,000 teachers, inspired policy change through acclaimed studies such as The Opportunity Myth (2018), The Mirage (2015), The Irreplaceables (2012), and The Widget Effect (2009), and launched the Bridge Fellowship, our signature program for diverse leaders with bold ideas for public schools. Today, TNTP is active in more than 50 cities.
