TNTP, formerly known as The New Teacher Project, is an American nonprofit organization that operates in the public education sector. It provides consulting services to school districts, conducts policy research, and manages teacher training programs. Its stated mission is to partner with school systems to ensure equal access to effective teachers and high-quality instruction.
TNTP was established in 1997 by Wendy Kopp as a spin-off of Teach For America (TFA) to address teacher hiring and retention in urban school districts.
