TNTP Teaching Fellows
Outstanding, Affordable, Teacher Training
TNTP Teaching Fellows offers a faster, more affordable path to teacher certification than traditional teacher preparation programs, without sacrificing quality.
One of the largest, most distinguished teacher preparation programs in the country, TNTP Teaching Fellows is based on a national framework that has been refined over 20-plus years.
Under the guidance of veteran teachers, Fellows benefit from practice, job-embedded training, and personalized coaching. They teach students in real classrooms and learn from experienced local teachers and leaders.
38,000
teachers trained through 36 Teaching Fellows Programs across 25 states, since 2000
63%
of Fellows in our 2023 cohort identify as people of color, compared to 20% of teachers nationally
During the summer months, Fellows receive immersive training led by expert educators so that in the fall they are ready to enter the classroom and begin earning a full-time teaching salary. They complete coursework, receive coaching and support, and earn full certification in as little as one year.
Despite the faster pace, Teaching Fellows perform as well as teachers certified through traditional programs and are more likely to still be teaching a year later.
