What Drives Us
Since its inception in 1997, The New Teacher Project has grown into an organization with a strong culture that is centered on our vision, mission, and core values.

Our Vision

One day, our nation's public schools will be thriving organizations that offer all children an excellent education.

Our Mission

The New Teacher Project partners with educational entities to:

  • Increase the numbers of outstanding individuals who become public school teachers; and
  • Create environments for all educators that maximize their impact on student achievement

Our Core Values

These values are the summary of what makes us successful-they communicate what we care about beyond our mission and help guide our decision making.

Foundation
Our work is driven by what we believe to be best for students and our goal of closing the achievement gap. As a disciplined, revenue-generating non-profit organization, we remain accountable, focused and motivated to meet our goals.

People
Our people drive our success as a company. We strive to recruit and retain a diverse group of dedicated individuals representing the best talent available. We work to ensure they feel valued and supported, and that they have opportunities to develop and grow.

Work
We do what it takes to achieve results. We are purposeful in providing high-quality, responsive and innovative services. We endeavor to work in close collaboration with our clients to develop models that challenge the status quo and raise expectations for what is possible in the effort to increase student achievement, and we strive to inform and influence the national dialogue on education policy.

Culture
We believe in a healthy, productive work environment. We strive for a trusting, supportive culture that emphasizes collaboration and flexibility amongst all staff members. We push ourselves to higher levels of performance, we celebrate our successes, and we learn from our failures.

What's inspiring about The New Teacher Project is its absolute refusal to be satisfied with the status quo or give up on urban and high-poverty schools. They know change is possible, and everything they do speaks to their determination to make it happen.
