The website lists cities where the program has been used. It would be very helpful if someone could review to see if there is information on proven effectiveness of the program.
It is another Gates-funded initiative; from the website noted above:
"Typically, about 30 percent of TNTP’s annual revenue comes from the support of leading philanthropies, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Arnold Family Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, and the Charles & Helen Schwab Foundation".
The New Teachers Project, TNTP, is here!

Emily Silberstein of TNTP said the participants will be paid a salary but also will have to pay tuition of about $5,000 for two certificate programs and about $3,000 for one. They will have to teach five years in the district or else pay back $20,000.
