The National Center on Time & Learning (NCTL) is a leader on the frontlines of urban K-12 education reform. Founded on the basic premise that the century-old school schedule is out of date in a highly competitive international economy, NCTL is using high-level research and policy and ground-level technical assistance to schools, to create a new, more effective school day and year – one that dramatically expands learning opportunities for all students in participating schools, offering a rigorous, engaging and well-rounded education that better prepares them for success in the 21st century. NCTL has emerged as the sole organization in the country focused on practical approaches to supporting public schools across America to expand learning time.
In May 2012, NCTL and the Ford Foundation partnered to launch the Time to Succeed Coalition (TSC), a national advocacy campaign to catalyze action on expanded learning time in states and districts across the country. In December 2012 NCTL also launched a five-state initiative to implement high quality expanded learning time models in Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Tennessee.
