Pros

Learned some teaching skills heavily based on Teach Like a Champion techniques, which are quoted throughout the program like a bible.

Cons

There is no due process in this organization. Fellows are voiceless and threatened with being kicked out of the program each day. Expectations are unclear and oftentimes arbitrary as new punishments and threats of being barred from being able to teach in the fall arise.

Pros

I do not have anything to write here, but the website is insisting I fill in this field to submit my review.

Cons

This program is, in its very essence, a scam. Yes, people make it through this program and become certified teachers, and this is surely how they keep it running. The reality is that the majority of the people will be forced out before they are able to make it to the end of the program or the end of their first school year. I could conservatively estimate that fewer than 10% of our original cohort made it through to the end, and out of these, the percent that actually received their certification is even lower. As I attended meetings with less and less people in them, it became painfully apparently that all they were here do was take as much money from us as possible and then leave us to drown. It was sickening to see. I URGE you to reconsider if you're considering joining any of the TNTP cohorts. When I was choosing which certification program to join I saw all of the negative TNTP reviews and naively thought that it would somehow be different for me. Well, I was wrong. Again, if you are considering joining a TNTP cohort I strongly advise you to look into all other options first. I would not recommend TNTP anyone.

Pros

In theory, getting certified in a year sounds nice. I also met some of the greatest people through this program.

Cons

Where to start... There is absolutely no support beyond the 6 week summer training. TNTP assigns "virtual" coaches that live around the country. My coach had 60 other fellows to coach and as you could imagine, could not coach any of us in the way that a first year teacher in the inner city needs. My suggestion- find another program or go back and get your masters. Don't waste your time or money here. This company is all about making money and don't care if you succeed or not.
