Delivering Measurable Impact for Young People

We turn insights into action.

Over the past two decades, TNTP has delivered meaningful results for millions of young people and the educators who support them through research-based publications, highly personalized academic and talent consulting, and an ambitious policy agenda. Our impact is far-reaching and yet we recognize we are just scratching the surface of what we believe is possible.

The Opportunity Myth Report

Shifting Paradigms Through Research and Insights

We shape the national conversation about PK–12 education with our publications, which dive beneath the surface of research data to reveal critical insights that fuel innovation and change.

Our report The Opportunity Myth has been recognized as essential reading for understanding how opportunity gaps play out in students’ experiences.

Turning Insights into Action for School Communities

We partner with schools and systems to design and deliver innovative solutions to confront education’s most vexing problems.

Our approach to impact consulting integrates academic excellence, teacher recruitment and support, and community participation to ensure all young people succeed. In partnership with districts and states across the country, TNTP helped educators bring the insights from The Opportunity Myth to life for their students.

Influencing Large-Scale Policy Changes

We bring together research and advocacy to create the policy conditions that lead to student success. We also unite with a broad set of stakeholders to multiply our impact and move the ball forward on education’s most pressing issues.

Achieving a highly effective educator workforce that reflects breadth and richness our country requires policy and practice changes at every level. That is why TNTP launched the One Million Teachers of Color (1MToC) Campaign alongside the Center for Black Educator Development, The Education Trust, The Hunt Institute, Latinos for Education, Men of Color in Educational Leadership, New Leaders, and Teach Plus. Our collective goal is to add 1 million teachers of color and 30,000 leaders of color to the education workforce by 2030.

Designing the Future of PK–12 Education

Over the next decade, we will strengthen and expand our cross-sector work to rethink interconnected systems and improve young people’s lives beyond the four walls of the classroom.

We will broaden our impact measurements to track the key PK–12 experiences and indicators shown to lead to long-term economic and social mobility. We will work relentlessly to make sure all students have an academic foundation, social capital, and career awareness and readiness.
