    Education

    The TNAA model is predicated upon the idea that student achievement is directly tied to the quality of teacher instruction. It is only by attracting, developing, and retaining skilled and talent teachers that significant educational progress can be made. As described by a recent McKinsey (2010) study:

    The quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers. Research has shown that of all the controllable factors in an education system, the most important by far is…

    The TNAA model is predicated upon the idea that student achievement is directly tied to the quality of teacher instruction. It is only by attracting, developing, and retaining skilled and talent teachers that significant educational progress can be made. As described by a recent McKinsey (2010) study:

    The quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers. Research has shown that of all the controllable factors in an education system, the most important by far is the effectiveness of the classroom teacher. The world’s best-performing school systems make great teaching their “north star.” They have strategic and systematic approaches to attract, develop, retain, and ensure the efficacy of the most talented educators—and they make sure great teachers serve students of all socio-economic backgrounds. (p. 5)

    Each of the components of the TNAA model listed below was chosen with this ideal in mind.

    Grade Level Cohorts

    TNAA teacher teams work with the same 60-65 students within a grade-level cohort. In addition to a Master Teacher, each team includes licensed Special Education and English Second Language (ESL) teachers. Developed at the Harvard Graduate School of Education this model allows for a team of four instructors, led by a Master Teacher, to plan and teach together. This ensures that novice teachers are always supported by a Master Teacher and that lesson plans are always vetted. Moreover, the variety of skills and perspectives within each team enriches every student’s educational experience.

    Teaching Teams

    Working together within one classroom, each team has the tools and support they need to become masters of their craft. Teachers spend at least ninety minutes each day working together on lesson plans, classroom management, pedagogy, and reflection. This continuous teacher development ensures that our students receive the highest level of instruction.
