We’re helping schools and districts tackle big questions in an evolving educational landscape. With decades of experience in new teacher support, we know what it takes to move the needle on teacher development, reducing retention risks and responding to new challenges in the face of rapid change in the workforce. Our mentoring and coaching and leadership development support is grounded in research and real-world practice and reflects the best of what we know about adult and student learning.
We craft local solutions and help shape the national conversation on our schools’ most pressing needs. Our goal: to help shape the future of teaching and learning so that every student has access to optimal learning.
Every district and each school is unique (and complex). Our crosscutting, research-driven programs focus on creating the best conditions for teaching and learning — moving bold ideas to action.
We help schools provide foundational, job-embedded support to develop new teacher talent, creating the conditions for teacher well-being and growth. Mentoring is the cornerstone of our work.
NTC’s job-embedded coaching bridges research and practice, prioritizing relationships and the best of what we now about how people learn. It’s not soft, it’s science.
Instructional leadership drives better teaching and deeper learning. Our customized professional learning, in-field coaching, and peer networking helps you be the leader you want to be.
Key factors shape the teaching and learning experience. These conditions define how educators engage, operate, connect, and grow. We use our coaching approach to address common pain points — from curriculum implementation to assessment — that disrupt learning and push teachers out.
Our approach is tailored to meet the needs of a rapidly changing teacher workforce — helping educators support every student to fulfill their potential and promise.
NTC helped us launch the working conditions survey with phenomenal participation for the first year. They’ve followed up with excellent support on how to utilize the data to improve teaching and learning in Kentucky.
