Daniel Weisberg

Dan Weisberg leads TNTP's efforts to advance policies and practices to ensure effective teaching in every classroom. He oversees TNTP’s Talent Management, Human Capital Systems, Research and Emerging Services and Foundations for Teacher Excellence departments.

Previously, as the Vice President of Policy, Dan helped build TNTP into “a leading voice on teacher quality” and co-authored TNTP’s acclaimed study on teacher evaluation, The Widget Effect.

Dan came to TNTP from the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE), where he served as the Chief Executive of Labor Policy and Implementation. In this role, he led negotiations between the Department and the United Federation of Teachers that resulted in a series of groundbreaking reforms, including the city's highly-regarded "mutual consent" system, which gives teachers and schools the primary voice in school staffing.

Dan brings to TNTP nearly 20 years of experience in labor and employment law. Before joining the NYDOE, Dan was a Partner in the New York office of Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison. He holds a J.D. from New York University Law School and a BA in Political Science from Columbia College.
