Teacher effectiveness is the most important factor in student learning

Root Cause Problem

Great teachers are MADE, not born

The system is failing to make great teachers

Drivers NTC’s Insight NTC’s Solution

New teachers…

•Poor preparation

•Toughest assignments

•Sink or swim on the job

So 50% quit within 5 years

• Great teachers are made, not born

• Support teachers well early in career so students learn more and teachers stay

Intensive teacher induction model dramatically improves effectiveness of new teachers
