Our Strategic Plan:

View Full Strategic Plan

NNSTOY refreshed its Strategic Plan in early 2015.  Our refreshed plan stays true to the original but sets new goals, outputs, and outcomes for the organization. Our refreshed strategic plan focuses on three key goals:

1. Advance teacher leadership both in the field and by focusing policy at all levels on putting great teaching and learning at the center of the education debate, and creating the kind of profession that attracts, develops, retains, leverages, advances, and values top talent.
2. Ensure that college and career ready education reforms promote the conditions, capacity, and culture needed to advance teacher leadership, improve educator effectiveness, and increase access to great teaching and learning for all students.
3. Strengthen NNSTOY’s capacity and position to increase the cadre of teacher leaders, advance teacher leadership and educator effectiveness, and transform the teaching profession.

Advancing student learning through meaningful models of teacher leadership is the core of our work as an organization. The purpose of this updated strategic plan is to build upon our work to date, and refresh NNSTOY’s strategy for the next three critical years. In doing so, we largely affirm our current vision and mission but focus and advance our theory of change to chart a course whereby NNSTOY can play an even greater role in advancing teacher leadership, transforming the profession, and establishing the conditions, capacity, and culture that we need to support great teaching and learning so that all students master the knowledge and skills necessary for success in college, career, and life.
