Timothy Daly

Under Timothy’s tenure as President, TNTP has become a leading source of innovative research and a respected independent voice on teacher quality issues.

Timothy began his tenure at TNTP in 2001 with the New York City Teaching Fellows, a program he helped grow into one of the leading providers of new teachers in the nation's second-largest district. Nearly 10,000 NYC Teaching Fellows currently work in city classrooms, accounting for 1 in 5 science teachers, and 1 in 4 math and Special Education teachers.

Prior to becoming TNTP’s President in 2007, Timothy served as the Vice President for Policy and played a key role in the publication of The Widget Effect (2009), an acclaimed TNTP study detailing the flaws in teacher evaluation, which shaped the federal government's $4.3 billion Race to the Top initiative and helped catalyze teacher evaluation legislation in more than 15 states nationwide.

Before joining TNTP, Timothy served as a Teach For America corps member at Northeast Middle School in Baltimore. He holds a MA in Teaching from Johns Hopkins University and a BA in American Studies from Northwestern University.
