The New Teacher Center works with teachers in every grade and subject area, each of whom faces daunting challenges. One difficulty that many beginning teachers consistently discuss with their mentors is that English-language learner (ELL) students lack the basic literacy skills needed to grasp grade-level content.

The New Teacher Center (NTC) was established in 1988 at the University of California at Santa Cruz, with the goal of supporting new K–12 teachers and administrators during their first two years in the profession. In the NTC program, schools release a cadre of exemplary teachers and site administrators full-time in order to mentor and observe beginners. The program pairs beginning teachers with mentor teachers from a similar grade level or subject-matter expertise. Mentors are trained to work with new teachers and administrators using research-based instructional methods. The NTC model has been adopted by almost 200 school districts in more than 30 states, including the entire state of Hawaii and all New York City schools
