New York Inspires
Your school has a vision for its graduates. We help make it real in every classroom, every day. NTN's evidence-based approach uplifts educator strengths, simplifies systems, and turns your Portrait of a Graduate from a statement into daily practice.
A Portrait of a Graduate.
In every classroom, every day.
NTN translates your vision into daily practice across three interconnected focus areas so change is sustainable, not another mandate.
We will help you focus on designing a vision for College & Career Readiness, cultivating a Supportive Culture for staff and students, and embedding the Portrait’s attributes into daily activities through Learner-Centered Instruction & Assessment.

“After working with NTN, we saw a mindset shift in our principals. They were empowered to lean on their teachers, and shared the ongoing respect they have for their teachers’ contributions - they’re leveraging their teachers for their skills, and we saw this change in just those two days.”
