Looking to make a difference? The New Teacher Project has established high-quality programs across the country to recruit talented new teachers for public schools.
Alternate Routes to Teacher Certification
TNTP's alternate routes to certification are highly selective programs designed to recruit and train high-achieving individuals who do not have education backgrounds to become teachers for hard-to-staff schools. These "Teaching Fellows"TM programs currently operate in more than 15 locations nationwide.
