TNTP is organized into four groups: New Teacher Effectiveness, Performance Management, Public Affairs, and Talent & Operations. Within these groups, Vice Presidents provide strategic leadership and Partners, listed below, oversee contracts and manage client relationships.
Roughly half of our diverse, 300+ person staff began their careers in the classroom. Others are education policy experts, researchers, strategy consultants and writers. We are mission-driven, customer-focused and results-oriented. Click here to learn more about our people.
