New Tech Network is a non-profit school development organization that guides schools through every phase of planning, starting, running and continually innovating a New Tech school. We work hand-in-hand with principals, teachers, district administration and staff to provide the support, training and coaching they need to successfully implement and manage a New Tech school or district.
Before starting a New Tech school, districts must lay a solid foundation by committing to the basic conditions critical for school success. These include school autonomy, small school size and 1:1 computing.
