A fragmented school day slows learning. Core. Intervention. Tutoring. All well-intentioned. Rarely aligned. Our new paper explores how designing for coherence accelerated learning (+1.8 months for lowest-performing students): ow.ly/lLke50Yobng #CoherenceMatters

What if every student had a clear, personalized path forward? Two Colorado schools are piloting an AI career and college coach to make that possible. Here’s what happens when advising, curriculum, and technology actually work together: tntp.org/case-study/coh…

At what point do we admit the formula isn’t working? Too many graduates are doing everything “right” and still not seeing the outcome they were promised. Click the comments to hear from Dr. Tequilla Brownie on where we go from here to create success for our young people.

The formula worked. Until it didn’t. “The social contract that held for generations—hard work, a degree, a path to stability—has quietly broken.” Now what → future-ed.org/a-new-strategy…

We’re proud to announce our 3-year partnership with Digital Promise to help schools adopt AI in ways that strengthen teaching and learning — not just add more tools. Read more: ow.ly/KR2P50YBXSN #AIinEducation #EdTech #EducationLeadership

Mixed signals in class, tutoring, and intervention can slow students' learning progress way down.     But when schools prioritize clear, aligned instruction for everyone, educators can work together to move students forward. Learn more: ow.ly/oR1Z50Y5tVb

In @FutureEdGU, I take on an important question: are our education systems equipping young people with the capability to shape their lives and contribute meaningfully to their communities? This moment calls for more than improving what we’ve built—it calls for rethinking it.

Knox County saw an opportunity to bring more coherence to how instruction, intervention, and data worked together for students. After 3 key shifts, the impact was clear. 1 year later: +1.8 months of learning for their lowest-performing students 📈✨🙌🏾👏🏾 ow.ly/zO4r50YB0fg

Alignment matters. In one district: +1.3 additional months of learning +1.8 months for lowest-performing students And teachers felt stronger collaboration and clarity. Growth like this doesn’t happen by accident. ow.ly/lLke50Yobng #CoherenceMatters #50MillionFutures

Career-connected learning links coursework to real careers, giving students skills, credentials, and real experience before graduation.     Uncover what alignment is making possible at Alton High School. 👇  ow.ly/oR1Z50Y5tVb

⏳ 2 days to go Join TNTP on Wednesday for a conversation on instructional coherence and how districts can better connect instruction, interventions, and supports. Save your seat: zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Ana’s day felt fragmented.  Ethan’s felt connected.  The difference? Design.  Students don’t choose the system they experience.  Adults do.  Coherence must be intentional.  Join us March 25 to explore what that looks like: ow.ly/Lfmm50YwrWQ

📅 Happening next week! Join TNTP on March 25 to hear how Knox County Schools is aligning instruction, interventions, and academic supports to build stronger instructional systems. 📍 12:30 PM ET 🔗 zoom.us/webinar/regist…

AI works best when it strengthens the people and systems around teaching.    This coaching pilot shows how AI can support educators, strengthen coaching, and connect to a broader strategy focused on coherence, equity, and learning. 👇  ow.ly/oR1Z50Y5tVb

Most efforts to help students catch up focus on isolated fixes, but real progress happens when instruction, intervention, and supports work together. Join TNTP and leaders from Knox County Schools for a conversation about instructional coherence. 🔗 zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Strong family-school partnerships are linked to higher student achievement. A new report with @bealearninghero & @karen_mapp shows “Bright Spot” schools & the specific engagement practices connected to outlier academic outcomes: bealearninghero.org/family-engagem… #TheEngagementAdvantage

Ana and Ethan are both fifth graders. Ana’s day feels fragmented. Ethan’s builds momentum. Same goal. Very different experience. The difference isn’t effort. It’s coherence. When learning connects, confidence grows. ow.ly/lLke50Yobng #CoherenceMatters #50MillionFutures

This month’s Take Five highlights TNTP’s new strategic plan and our bold goal: prepare 50 million young people for meaningful work and meaningful lives by 2035.    Mobility shouldn’t be left to chance. See how we’re building it by design. ow.ly/oR1Z50Y5tVb

When AI is used with intention, it can support coaching, surface insights, and give educators time back. Here’s what responsible AI looks like in practice. 👇 ow.ly/oR1Z50Y5tVb

A student's education shouldn’t end with a big question mark. At Alton High School, career-connected learning helps students graduate with real skills, credentials, and experience in fields like engineering and cybersecurity. Learn more👇 ow.ly/oR1Z50Y5tVb
