Project KNOTtT

About Project KNOTtT

Project KNOTtT is a federally funded Transition to Teaching (TtT) partnership designed to support recruitment, selection, training, coaching, and mentoring to retain teachers in high need, hard to staff school districts. As a national initiative, Project KNOTtT addresses the teacher shortages in the subject areas of math, science, English/language arts, foreign languages, English as a second language, and special education (K-12). This five year project serves 545 new teachers pursuing nontraditional routes to certification in four states: Kansas, Nevada, Ohio, and Texas. Led by The Ohio State University, these four states will collaborate with national partners to knot together three strategic strands of support for alternative certification programs:

Strand 1: Online Learning Community
Strand 2: eCoaching and Program Mentoring
Strand 3: Quality Indicators

National partners include the National Association of Alternative Certification, Association of Teacher Educators, Youth Policy Institute, and The Thomas B. Fordham Institute.
