Our Services
New Tech Network works closely with district leaders, school principals, and classroom educators, to co-design change strategies that are specific to their context and improvement priorities.
New Tech Network is a national nonprofit dedicated to systemic change in education. We center K-12 schools as the units of change. With more than 25 years of supporting schools and districts in change-making, NTN has the ability to recognize common patterns across systems and what is unique about each school and district community.
The NTN Model
The New Tech Network Model is a whole school approach to transformation built around key focus areas: college and career ready outcomes, supportive and inclusive culture, meaningful and equitable instruction, and purposeful assessment. By developing expertise in each of these four domains, schools benefit from discovering the ways each distinct area reinforces the other three.
NTN’s structured, responsive, research-based whole school approach helps educators and their stakeholders transform both individual schools and groups of district schools into equitable, supportive, and meaningful learning environments. Teachers, administrators, and district leaders work together to advance deeper learning approaches, and students experience joyful, meaningful, and relevant educational experiences — leading to improved learning outcomes and college and career-readiness for each and every student.
Individual Services
New Tech Network is committed to supporting schools and districts to achieve their vision of student success. In addition to the whole school model approach, New Tech Network offers Individual Services to Build Deeper Learning Capacity, a selection of professional development services designed to build educator capacity and develop leadership skills that enable schools to strengthen instruction, culture, assessment, and college and career readiness.
At NTN, we believe that in order to ensure each student develops outcomes that matter, their learning experiences must exhibit conditions that reflect deeper learning. Those deeper learning conditions are: authentic, active, relational, responsive and complex.
The NTN Model
New Tech Network believes when transformation is adopted by a school, its stakeholders and its community, everyone is more engaged, and schools build their own unique capacity to sustain the innovation and continuously improve. The New Tech Network Model is a whole school approach to transformation built around these key focus areas: college and career ready outcomes, supportive and inclusive culture, meaningful and equitable instruction, and purposeful assessment. By developing expertise in each of these four domains, schools benefit from discovering the ways each distinct area reinforces the other three.
We define a whole school approach as the kind of transformation needed to ensure a learning environment where every component of the student experience is aligned to this work. Students experience this innovative way of learning in their classrooms, with their interactions with teachers, peers and school leadership, how they’re assessed in their learning, and college and career opportunities. The NTN Model aligns all components of schooling, empowers the entire system to lead a change process, invites the community in, and adapts to the needs and strengths of the learning community.
The student experience is tied directly to deeper learning outcomes. Students gain skills and use their voices in ways that prepare them for life beyond school. The NTN instructional approach leverages project- based learning which allows students to engage with material in creative, culturally relevant ways, experience it in context, and share their learning with peers.
