Research says that a focus on people and conditions creates positive experiences for students and educators. For 25 years, we have provided new and experienced teachers with top-notch coaches to build transformative learning spaces and get results.
Unlocking the potential of learning for everyone in the school building — from students to teachers, leaders to coaches
Data shows all learning is social, emotional, and relational. Our professional learning embraces this, drawing from brain research, cognitive science, and developmental studies.
Sustained success comes from engaging every person shaping student learning. Our partner-led coaching approach helps communities build professional learning programs that reflect their needs.
Perspective matters. We work with urban, rural schools, state education departments, and charter schools to elevate the best practices and create impactful, tailored professional learning.
Things evolve, and so do we. With over 25 years of experience and $87M in federal research, we continuously refine our in-field practices to turn promising ideas into real-world action.
Education is about potential, not limits. Our focus on diversity leverages the unique strengths and stories of students and teachers, fostering success in communities and beyond.
Positive school environments foster connection, relevance, and engagement. We build schoolwide coaching mindsets, creating vibrant spaces where teaching, learning, and growth thrive.
Coaching builds culture, while positive learning conditions spark connection. Together, these two pillars drive student engagement and teacher effectiveness, creating schools where everyone engages, grows, and succeeds.
Coaching and mentoring are key to shaping a strong workplace culture, delivering what teachers — especially new ones — crave: personalized, humanized, evidence-driven support. Our science-backed, student-focused approach enhances educator effectiveness and well-being, leading to stronger instruction, engaged students, and increased teacher retention.
Positive learning conditions drive connection and engagement. Our coaching empowers educators to create spaces — optimal learning environments — where students flourish, fostering safety, belonging, and high expectations. These environments integrate social-emotional learning, culturally responsive teaching, and strengths-based approaches to meet every student’s unique needs.
Educators play powerful roles in shaping environments that support both teaching and learning. By focusing on the well-being and growth of students and staff, they create communities — from classrooms to entire coaching systems — that reflect research-driven insights into how people thrive.
There is something deeply empathetic that feels very intentional and explicit within the culture of NTC that we want to integrate into our approach for relationship-building.
