Building Paths of Opportunity
TNTP launches Paths of Opportunity, a new research series that explores how young people’s experiences can become engines of mobility.
Transforming Education So Every Young Person Thrives
TNTP is an education nonprofit that brings research, policy, and consulting together to reimagine America’s public education system.
Third-grade students excited to learn science at J.M. Ullom Elementary in Las Vegas. The school is a teaching site for members of the Nevada Teacher Corps.
We envision a PK–12 experience for every young person that upends the predictive influence of poverty and race on their life outcomes and fuels innovation and growth across our country.
As a leading education nonprofit since 1997, we have combined insight, courage, and action to conceive scalable solutions that address complex challenges from the classroom to the systems level. Today, we work side by side with educators, system leaders, and communities across 39 states and more than 6,000 districts nationwide to reach ambitious goals for student success.
Our vision pushes beyond school walls, catalyzing cross-sector collaboration to create pathways for young people to achieve academic, economic and social mobility.

We work with schools, districts, and county and state education agencies—as well as students, families, and communities—to ensure every young person is on a path to academic, social, and economic mobility.

We help schools and school systems improve students’ experiences, in and out of the classroom through our education consulting services.

After partnering with TNTP, teachers and leaders report feeling better equipped to improve instructional practices and increase student engagement. Students receive stronger teaching, challenging assignments, and high-quality instructional materials. And the adults around them are more likely to hold them to high standards—a key predictor of academic success.
