Our Approach
When we focus on teachers and school leaders, students succeed
Research has shown that teachers and school leaders are the two most important in-school factors that impact student learning. Recruiting, supporting, and retaining excellent teachers and principals are among the most urgent challenges facing Jewish day schools today. JNTP’s Teacher Induction (TI) and Administrator Support (AS) programs are designed to accelerate the effectiveness of educators at early points in their careers, thus maximizing their impact on students and learning and setting their professional trajectories toward excellence. Our programs impact four core areas: student learning, educator effectiveness, leadership development and optimal learning environments. We take a consultative approach to identify the best fit for each school partner we work with, asking detailed questions to assess where to start.

The Foundation of Our Work
JNTP’s work in Jewish day schools around the U.S. and Canada is based on New Teacher Center’s proven methodologies and materials, which are predicated on more that 25 years of research and expertise. JNTP brings the best of “outside” educational innovation into the Jewish community. JNTP helps transform Jewish day school communities by providing ongoing, job-embedded, instructionally-focused and relationship-based mentoring and coaching to three main constituencies: beginning teachers, veteran teacher mentors, and early-career administrators.

EDUCATOR
EFFECTIVENESS
Our supports focus on building teacher and administrator effectiveness through rigorous professional standards and best practices in social-emotional learning.

OBSERVATION CYCLES
& FEEDBACK
Through continuous observation cycles, mentors and school leaders learn to provide evidence-based feedback to help educators enhance their instructional practice and better reach every student. It is critical that every teacher receive such quality support throughout their career.

SYSTEM-WIDE APPROACH
& CAPACITY BUILDING
Schools must take a system-wide approach and build capacity to provide the time, resources, and opportunities for teachers to improve their instructional practice.
