NC New Teacher Support Program

The North Carolina New Teacher Support Program (NC NTSP) is a comprehensive, university-based induction program offering a research-based curriculum and multiple services designed to increase teacher effectiveness, enhance skills and reduce attrition among beginning teachers. The goal of the NC NTSP is to improve student achievement by improving beginning teacher effectiveness and promoting teacher retention through three core services: (1) instructional skills institute; (2) intensive individualized classroom coaching; and (3) aligned professional development sessions.
