The National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) operates within the education administration sector, focusing on improving student achievement by ensuring that teachers are highly skilled, motivated, and adequately compensated. It supports states, districts, and schools by helping design and implement educator effectiveness policies and systems, including evaluation, career pathways, leadership, and professional development, as well as providing online resources to bolster classroom practice. A cornerstone of NIET’s work is the TAP System for Teacher and Student Advancement, which aims to restructure teaching as a profession through clear career advancement, ongoing professional development, fair evaluations, and performance-based pay.

Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, NIET works with a diverse network of educators, administrators, and policy partners to scale educator quality reform. Its recent activity highlights partnerships with multiple school districts—such as Gadsden Elementary School District #32 and South San ISD—and collaborations with state education departments, reflecting its role in expanding educator effectiveness initiatives at the district and state levels.
