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/coherent…

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.”

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

TNTP retweeted
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.
Mar 31
"Educators build capability in students when learning connects to real world challenges, and when students learn to use the tools shaping the future with judgment and confidence. When capability is missing, students can do everything we ask—enroll, persist, earn credits—and still not be ready for what’s ahead. This gap between access and capability is one of the most urgent crises in American education today", writes @TequillaBrownie, FutureEd Senior Fellow and @TNTP Chief Executive.
Read our latest commentary on why closing this gap must be central to the next era of education reform: future-ed.org/a-new-strategy…

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

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

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. 👇

Most efforts to help students catch up focus on isolated fixes, but real progress happens when instruction, intervention, and supports work together.

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

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
