Mission and programs · 2023

• NIET PURSUES IMPROVING EDUCATOR EFFECTIVENESS AND THE NATIONAL K-12 EDUCATION SYSTEM THROUGH DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING EFFECTIVE, COHESIVE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SYSTEMS. WE CATEGORIZE OUR WORK INTO FIVE SERVICE AREAS:THE TAP SYSTEM FOR TEACHER AND STUDENT ADVANCEMENT:THE TAP SYSTEM REMAINS NIET'S COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO ESTABLISHING SUSTAINED STRUCTURES FOR BUILDING EDUCATOR EXCELLENCE AND INCREASING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT GROWTH. SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION IN 1999, THE TAP SYSTEM HAS LED TO DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS AND CHANGED THE TRAJECTORY OF ENTIRE SCHOOLS. OVER 95 PERCENT OF PARTICIPATING TAP SCHOOLS ARE (SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATIONS) HIGH-NEED AND SERVE DIVERSE AREAS - FROM PHOENIX TO RURAL TENNESSEE. THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FOUR INTERRELATED KEY ELEMENTS, TEACHERS ARE IMPROVING THEIR INSTRUCTION AND THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THEIR STUDENTS. SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT SOLUTIONS:THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT SOLUTIONS MODEL IS ROOTED IN PROVEN PRINCIPLES FROM THE TAP SYSTEM AND AIMS TO CREATE EFFECTIVE STRUCTURES FOR TEACHER LEADERSHIP AND FOSTER A CULTURE FOR EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS ALIKE TO EXCEL. IT STARTS WITH A STRENGTHS-BASED NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND IS BUILT AROUND ESTABLISHING FOUR KEY ELEMENTS IN EVERY SCHOOL: INSTRUCTIONAL EXCELLENCE, COLLABORATIVE LEARNING, REFLECTIVE CULTURE, AND COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP. BASED ON EACH SCHOOL'S STRENGTHS-BASED NEEDS ASSESSMENT, NIET DESIGNS ITS SUPPORT TO ADDRESS THE AREAS THAT WILL MAXIMIZE AND ACCELERATE IMPROVEMENT AND BUILD FOUNDATIONAL SYSTEMS FOR SUCCESS.RUBRIC AND OBSERVATION SYSTEMS:NIET'S TEACHING STANDARDS RUBRIC IS BASED ON NATIONALLY NORMED, RESEARCH-BASED STANDARDS. IT CLEARLY DEFINES EFFECTIVE TEACHING AND FOSTERS COLLABORATION AROUND A COMMON LANGUAGE AND VISION THAT LEADS TO STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. THE RUBRIC BRINGS A COMPREHENSIVE FOCUS ON FOUR KEY DOMAINS: INSTRUCTION, THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, DESIGNING AND PLANNING INSTRUCTION, AND PROFESSIONALISM. NIET'S COMPLEMENTARY OBSERVATION SYSTEM PROVIDES SCHOOLS WITH A STRONG, VALID AND RELIABLE INSTRUMENT FOR SEEING HOW TEACHERS ARE GROWING IN THEIR MASTERY OF THE RUBRIC. THE OBSERVATION SYSTEM IS BASED ON MULTIPLE OBSERVATIONS OF EVERY TEACHER, EVERY YEAR BY MULTIPLE, TRAINED AND CERTIFIED EVALUATORS. ALL EVALUATIONS ARE FOLLOWED UP WITH A POST-CONFERENCE SESSION BETWEEN THE OBSERVED TEACHER AND THE EVALUATOR TO DISCUSS AREAS OF STRENGTH AND REFINEMENT WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE BEING TO HELP THE TEACHER IMPROVE.THE RUBRIC AND OBSERVATION SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR, ARE SUPPLEMENTED BY NIET'S EE PASS ONLINE PORTAL, WHICH INCLUDES HUNDREDS OF HOURS' WORTH OF VIDEOS THAT SHOW EFFECTIVE TEACHING ALONG WITH EVIDENCE AND SCORING AND WHICH ALLOWS FOR ONLINE CERTIFICATION FOR EVALUATORS. EE PASS ALSO INCLUDES A DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES REAL-TIME ACCESS TO EVALUATION DATA, WHICH ENABLES LEADERS TO CONNECT OBSERVATION FEEDBACK WITH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND ENSURE CONSISTENCY AND RELIABILITY ACROSS OBSERVERS.TEACHER AND LEADER DEVELOPMENT:NIET SUPPORTS TEACHER LEADERSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SYSTEMS THAT CREATE FORMAL STRUCTURES AND GIVE TEACHER LEADERS THE RESPONSIBILITY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND AUTHORITY TO DRIVE INSTRUCTION. NIET ALSO PROVIDES COACHING AND SUPPORT FOR OTHER KEY ROLES - PARTICULARLY TO EMPOWER PRINCIPALS, DISTRICT, AND OTHER SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS TO BE INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS - RECOGNIZING THAT BUILDING DEEP CAPACITY ROOTED IN RICH ACADEMIC PRACTICE IS FOUNDATIONAL TO LONG-TERM SUCCESS. NIET'S WORK IN THIS AREA CONSISTS OF DESIGNING AND SUPPORTING CAREER PATHS AND ADVANCEMENT FOR EDUCATORS AS TEACHER LEADERS, ESTABLISHING SCHOOL-BASED PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SYSTEMS, AND DELIVERING AN ON-SITE TEACHER LEADERSHIP SERIES TRAINING THAT HELPS SCHOOLS, DISTRICTS, AND STATES PUT TEACHER LEADERSHIP AT THE CENTER OF EFFORTS TO IMPROVE INSTRUCTION AND RETENTION.EDUCATOR PREPARATION PARTNERSHIPS:NIET WORKS HAND IN HAND WITH OVER 75 UNIVERSITIES TO PREPARE A PIPELINE OF THE NEXT GENERATION OF EFFECTIVE EDUCATORS. BY STRENGTHENING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN K-12 AND HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, NIET'S PARTNERSHIPS EFFECTIVELY PREPARE ASPIRING TEACHERS FOR THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE CLASSROOM. SPECIFICALLY, NIET HELPS EDUCATOR PREPARATION PROGRAMS EMBED RESEARCH-BASED, EFFECTIVE PRINCIPLES FROM THE TEACHING STANDARDS RUBRIC INTO COURSEWORK AND CLINICAL PRACTICES. THIS HELPS TEACHER CANDIDATES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE COMPONENTS OF THE TEACHING STANDARDS RUBRIC, HOW THE INDICATORS FIT WITHIN THEM, AND WHICH DESCRIPTORS DEMONSTRATE THE INDICATORS. NIET ALSO SUPPORTS TRAINING AND MENTORSHIP FOR COOPERATING TEACHERS WHO ARE PARTNERED WITH TEACHING CANDIDATES IN A RESIDENCY OR STUDENT TEACHING EXPERIENCE, WHICH HELPS ASPIRING TEACHERS RECEIVE COACHING AND FEEDBACK TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE.

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
