Shaping the future of the profession so educators stay, grow, and lead
NTC is rewriting the story on teacher turnover by transforming how new educators are supported, developed, and retained. We help unlock the potential of teachers and students, shifting from survival mode to building healthy, sustainable careers and schools.
For 25 years, we’ve combined research and real-world practice to design learning that helps educators stay committed, grow professionally, and lead schools where academic excellence meets joy.
We design professional learning that fosters connection, resilience, and commitment from the start. NTC focuses on designing environments where teachers feel effective and part of a team, with attention to the quality of adult learning, leadership, alignment, and support structures.
We build instructional expertise and collaboration across schools with professional learning tailored to teachers’ pathways, goals, and contexts. Our professional learning programs create the conditions for continuous improvement where growth is observable at every stage of an educator’s career.
We grow leadership in every role and at every stage, fostering strong professional development, effective teams, and powerful student learning. By aligning with instructional priorities and grounding it in adult learning and development, we ensure schools grow leadership from within for everyone.
NTC partners with schools and districts in urban and rural communities across 30 states, including state departments, local agencies, and charter schools. We connect research to practical strategies that work for all educators.

It might be tempting to think that smaller, rural schools face fewer challenges, but nothing could be further from the truth. While the number of staff in rural schools can be small, their workload is…
We’ve found that if leaders aren’t engaged, even the best initiatives stall. But when they do lean in, they create the conditions for success and transformative change.
NTC’s commitment to excellence and passion for teacher leadership has been critical to our success. We would not be as far along as we are without their help and support.
