New Tech Network’s Coach Development Program (CDP)  empowers district and school instructional coaches and leaders to build local coaching capacity to facilitate deeper learning experiences, including Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Problem-Based Learning (PrBL). Comprising two virtual year-long courses, CDP is a flexible, cost-effective, and adaptable coaching development solution tailored to districts’ unique needs and goals. By developing instructional leaders into learning leaders, CDP focuses on skill building for leading adult learning including skills for listening as a learning leader, agenda design and facilitation, and leveraging tools and resources to directly support deeper learning instruction.

Depending on community preferences, Whole School Model work can be phased-in over multiple years or addressed all at once across grade levels.  New School Deeper Learning Support is a two-day workshop designed for schools who are implementing the NTN Model through a phased-in and wish to expand their staff’s understanding of deeper learning fundamentals across their system. This workshop allows all educators across campus, not just current PBL implementers, to experience mission-driven adult learning and align on deeper learning fundamentals, supportive and inclusive culture, and college and career readiness.

Experience the power of the New Tech Annual Conference (NTAC)! This national event is a must-attend for educators – K-12 teachers, instructional coaches, school and district leaders – seeking to deepen an understanding of innovative educational strategies. With a variety of sessions covering a broad spectrum of topics, you’ll have the opportunity to tailor your conference experience to align with your professional interests and educational needs.

NTAC offers two dynamic components: the NTAC General Conference and NTAC Trainings.

NTAC General Conference: Dive into a multi-day learning experience featuring a diverse range of sessions. Customize your own schedule, selecting from a rich variety of topics and sessions that cater to your needs and interests.

NTAC Trainings: Join us for structured multi-day programs expertly designed to develop specific skills aligned to your school context.

Trainings include:

  • NTN 101: Designed to support teachers joining existing or alumni New Tech Network schools, this experience supports classroom educators in building their practice around project-based learning, student-centered facilitation and the NTN Learning Outcomes.
  • New Schools Training – Designed for schools beginning their implementation of the NTN Model, this training focuses on three main areas: (1) project-based learning (PBL) design and instruction; (2) school and classroom culture practices that support PBL; and (3) assessment environments that emphasize feedback and growth.
  • New Leader Workshop – A workshop for new or returning school and district leaders at existing or alumni NTN schools. For new school leaders, this experience is designed to build a foundational understanding of the New Tech Network Model and the leadership mindsets, practices and tools essential for effectively leading a New Tech Network school. Returning leaders will also have an opportunity to improve their knowledge of the fundamentals, learn about new improvements, and re-engage with peers from across the Network.
  • PBL Training Design – Designed for district and school leadership teams, this training focuses on the design of effective PBL onboarding, year-long adult learning support, and fostering a culture of feedback. Experience with the NTN Model maximizes participation.

In addition to school support, NTN also provides consulting services to district teams who are beginning their Deeper Learning journey and need help determining early strategy or districts who have already launched a Deeper Learning strategy and need help building coherence among their communities.
