Lead the Change.
Don't Wait for It. 

You didn’t step into leadership to keep things running.
You’re here to make change.

TNTP’s three new, virtual leadership cohorts are built for bold school and district leaders who are ready to turn vision into action.

Three Cohorts. One Shared Goal: Better Outcomes for Students.

Whether you're leading a single school or setting strategy for an entire district, these cohorts offer the structure, coaching, and momentum to take your ideas from possibility to practice.

The Opportunity Makers Leadership Cohort

Based on our groundbreaking report, The Opportunity Makers, this cohort is designed to help leaders build schools and systems where students experience belonging, receive consistent, high-quality instruction, and have access to a coherent, student-centered learning experience.

 

The Paths of Opportunity Leadership Cohort.

Rooted in our Paths of Opportunity research, this cohort helps leaders design initiatives that drive academic success, social capital, career-connected learning, personal support, and civic and community engagement.

 

Artificial Intelligence School/District Leader Cohort.

In response to the rapidly evolving role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education, this cohort is designed to help school and district leaders build the knowledge and confidence to lead in an AI-powered future.

Launching Fall 2025. Application deadline: September 1, 2025.
