"What's inspiring about The New Teacher Project is its absolute refusal to be satisfied with the status quo or to 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."

"The New Teacher Project has been a true partner for the Atlanta Public Schools. The district places great emphasis on the ongoing professional development of our teachers. To help us provide teachers with the tools and knowledge needed to be excellent educators, we have incorporated The New Teacher Project's seminar series, Teaching for Results, into our professional development and alternative certification offerings, and we have been very pleased with the results."

"The New Teacher Project is an innovator. Its drive to recruit and prepare highly-qualified teachers helps us as we work to ensure that every teacher is a great teacher. It also helps us think strategically about key issues including teacher hiring, school staffing, and how our management decisions affect New York City public schools. We are grateful to have a results-oriented partner like TNTP."

"Unlike so many others, The New Teacher Project's staff treats the problems that school districts face as their own. As a result, they make sure that the teachers they recruit actually fill classroom vacancies, that their reports include actionable recommendations as well as data, and that the services they offer school districts are always focused on immediate needs."
Dr. Clayton M. Wilcox
Superintendent, Pinellas County Schools
"The quality of the work and professionalism of the staff are unmatched in education reform circles."

"TNTP honored its commitment to become our partner in meeting the recruitment and staffing needs of our most difficult sites.... In the beginning, I was a reluctant supporter of TNTP. However, I now find myself as one of their strongest advocates because they have delivered on their word. I know their expertise and "best practices" contributed to HR's success this year.... I am excited we are continuing our collaboration and that we will be taking our partnership to the next level."
