The New Teacher Project is a revenue-generating nonprofit organization. We work with our clients on a fee-for-service basis and often under performance-based contracts. This keeps us focused on outcomes and pushes us to innovate continually to suit the evolving needs of today's public schools. We find that the fee-for-service model also encourages our clients to be motivated, active collaborators by literally "investing" them in the success of our work.

TNTP delivers services through four core lines of business:

Teaching Fellows Programs

We bring expertise in the recruitment, selection, cultivation, preparation and placement of alternate route and traditionally certified teachers. We specialize in recruiting candidates for shortage-area subjects and high-need schools.

Staffing Initiatives

We bring expertise in building capacity at the school level to hire the most effective teachers. We ensure that even the most challenged schools can attract the best teachers and open the school year fully staffed. Areas of specialty include principal trainings in effective teacher hiring, recruitment strategies, screening and selection models, placement and hiring processes, technology solutions, and candidate cultivation.

Training and Certification

We bring expertise in the pre-service preparation, professional development and certification of new teachers for states and school districts. We specialize in developing alternate route teachers by leveraging their existing content expertise and life experiences while grounding them in rigorous, standards-based instructional practices.

Policy and Research

We bring expertise in education policy analysis and data collection, specifically with regard to teacher hiring and school staffing issues. We specialize in identifying the systemic barriers that keep urban schools from hiring the best teachers and developing common-sense recommendations for reform.
