Description
Less than a quarter of a student’s time in class is spent on assignments that are aligned to grade-level standards, which is critical to student success. This finding from a recent report from TNTP, an organization with a commitment to addressing educational inequity, demonstrates the need for teachers to be equipped with the knowledge and resources that support grade-level aligned instruction. TNTP recognizes that the impact a high-quality teacher can make is limited by the conditions they operate within. TNTP has taken a holistic approach and developed a suite of multiple support services. Through this renewal grant, TNTP will continue to implement five strands of work: 1) build diverse and effective educator pipelines at scale; 2) deliver academic services; 3) develop partnerships with stakeholder groups; 4) measure students’ outcomes; and 5) execute a business development plan and learning agenda.

Description
There are many components that contribute to an excellent education system in which students achieve high academic results. As a nation, we have reached a critical juncture in education reform where most jurisdictions have adopted new, strong learning standards, yet instruction and, thus, student achievement, remains suboptimal due to misalignment of policies across multiple levels, including in the areas of human capital management, instructional leadership, and academic strategies. With the launch of its 2016-2017 strategy, the New Teacher Project (TNTP) is undertaking an ambitious plan that marks an important evolution in the organization’s strategy and that of the education community. Since it was founded in 1997, TNTP has focused on elevating human capital in education, recruiting or training nearly 50,000 teachers for high needs schools, catalyzing large scale reform through studies, and pioneering new teacher evaluation systems. Under its new strategy, TNTP moves to an integrated approach that maintains an emphasis on human capital while expanding to advocate for policies that optimize learning environments and to support school systems to implement academic strategies that improve outcomes for low-income students. This approach targets and integrates the key leverage points needed to achieve results for students. Support from the Corporation will contribute to the development of these new services and the implementation of activities under TNTP’s new strategy.
