THE ISSUE Teacher effectiveness is the single most
important school-based contributor to
student success. Highly proficient
teachers can move their students up at
least one grade level, while ineffective
teachers result in children being left
behind. In other words, below average
teachers widen the achievement gap
while capable teachers shrink it.
The U.S. will need to prepare and retain
two million new teachers over the next
ten years, yet most new teachers receive
limited instructional support. Typically,
the newest teachers are placed in the
most difficult classes in the neediest
schools. Not surprisingly, many of their
educational careers will not survive this
trial by fire.
Nearly 50% of new teachers leave the
profession. In low income communities,
approximately 70% of teachers leave
within five years.
THE MISSION
New Teacher Center (NTC) is a national
nonprofit that improves student learning
by accelerating the effectiveness of new
teachers.
NTC ensures that the nation’s poor,
minority, and English learner students,
those most often taught by inexperienced
teachers, receive the education and
college preparation they need and
deserve. NTC programs transform
schools into vibrant learning
communities.
THE PROJECT
NTC sought Full Circle Fund's expertise
in developing an expansion strategy.
Members helped develop a new
communications and marketing strategy,
which bolstered NTC’s growth as the
premier provider of teacher-induction
programs and school leadership training
throughout the United States.
The project also enhanced NTC’s role as
an important voice on the public
education policy landscape.
“It has truly a
been a phenomenal
opportunity to work
with Full Circle Fund.
The team helped
develop our
expansion strategy,
which led to our
formation as a
national non-profit.”
“As a result, we are
now increasing
the effectiveness of
new teachers in every
state and we
continue to grow.”
