TNTP is a national nonprofit that is inspired by the life-changing power of great teaching. We were founded in 1997 by teachers who believed that all students – especially poor and minority students – deserved great teaching. Today, we are partners for change in public education, working to create engaging classrooms, focused schools, and strategic systems to help public school systems achieve their goals for students.

We’re a diverse team from many fields and backgrounds, united by a fierce commitment to our mission: ending educational inequality by providing excellent teachers to the students who need them most and by advancing policies and practices that ensure effective teaching in every classroom.
