Jewish New Teacher Project

What Jewish New Teacher Project does

Jewish New Teacher Project (JNTP) is a private nonprofit professional development organization that delivers structured mentoring and coaching programs to teachers and administrators in Jewish day schools across North America. Founded in 2002 as a Jewish day school division within New Teacher Center (NTC) with the AVI CHAI Foundation, JNTP adapted NTC's research-based, field-tested teacher induction methodology for the Jewish day school context and completed its separation from NTC in 2023 to operate as an independent 501(c)(3) organization. The organization is headquartered in the New York metropolitan area (Bronx mailing address) and serves schools across 21 U.S. states plus Canada.

JNTP's core products are the Teacher Induction Program, a two-year mentorship training program that prepares experienced teachers to support new teachers through weekly 1:1 mentoring and bi-weekly classroom observation cycles, and the Administrator Support Program, which provides 20-month cohort-based and individual coaching for novice and veteran school leaders. Additional offerings include a Visiting Mentor Program for specialized in-person support, an Early Childhood Educators Cohort, a Virtual Mentors Program, and a Veteran Mentor Program for advanced practitioner development. JNTP is not a technology company; its delivery combines in-person seminars, online forums, 1:1 coaching sessions, and classroom observations, supported by third-party learning platforms (Google Classroom, PERTS Elevate, PlayPosit, Torsh Talent, Along) under inherited NTC Terms of Service. Compliance certifications cover FERPA, COPPA, SOPIPA, CCPA/AB 1584, WCAG 2.1 AA, and ADA.

JNTP operates a dual revenue model. Earned revenue comes from schools paying program fees, ranging from $180 for program materials to $10,000 per teacher-mentor pair per year for the full Teacher Induction Program, with subscription, unit, and pay-as-you-go pricing tiers. This is complemented by philanthropic support from major foundations including AVI CHAI, Jim Joseph Foundation, Crown Family Philanthropies, UJA-Federation of New York, Covenant Foundation, Alan B. Slifka Foundation, regional Jewish federations, and the newly announced Azrieli partnership (December 2025). The organization sells through direct school partnerships and channel partnerships with Jewish communal organizations (Associated Talmud Torahs of Chicago, CAJE Miami, Jewish LearningWorks, JEWISHcolorado), and markets via its website, email newsletter, social media, partner referrals, and Jewish education conferences. Cumulative reach since 2003 includes 404 partner schools, 1,820 supported new teachers, 1,029 trained mentors, and 271+ coached administrators, with current-year active engagements including 110+ administrators and 550+ hours of 1:1 coaching in the 2025-2026 Administrator Support Program alone.

Jewish New Teacher Project operates as a professional development organization offering two signature programs for Jewish day schools: the Teacher Induction Program (a two-year mentorship program training experienced teachers to mentor new educators) and the Administrator Support Program (coaching and cohort-based professional development for school leaders). Additional offerings include a Visiting Mentor Program for direct coaching, an Early Childhood Educators Cohort for specialized support, a Virtual Mentors Program for online coaching, and an Advanced Mentoring Program for veteran mentors. All programs are research-based, adapted from New Teacher Center's proven methodologies, and delivered through a combination of in-person seminars, online forums, 1:1 coaching sessions, and classroom observations.
