Impact Consulting

TNTP partners with system leaders, educators, families, and community stakeholders to ensure that every student has access to a high-quality education that will set them on a pathway to prosperity.

Most TNTPers come from the education system. Our consulting teams primarily consist of former teachers and school leaders who bring their experience and knowledge to their own communities and beyond.

We measure proficiency using academic diagnostics such as test results, models of high-quality work, and student understanding of learning targets. We advise school leaders on materials selection and help them introduce the right materials for them in their classrooms. We provide systemwide teacher coaching and tailored professional development.
