Grow the people you already have.
Most organizations lose good educators to roles they were never given a chance to prepare for. NextGround is being built to close that gap — and we're building it with partners, not for them.
Districts and schools
You have teachers who could step into coaching, curriculum, or leadership roles, and no structured way to prepare them before the vacancy appears.
Education nonprofits and fellowships
You support educators through a transition and want role-specific preparation to sit alongside your programming.
Education organizations and edtech teams
You hire former educators and know how much faster they ramp when they already understand the role they're stepping into.
Early, and honest about it.
NextGround is in development. The first path, Instructional Coach, is planned for January 2027. We have early educator research, a working product, and two practitioners. We do not have enrollment, outcome data, or partner case studies, and we're not going to pretend otherwise.
That makes this a good moment to shape the thing rather than buy it.
Conversations we're open to
- Sponsoring seats on a path for educators you're developing internally
- Helping shape a path for a role you struggle to fill
- Contributing practitioners who currently hold that role
- Piloting a path with a small group and telling us what's wrong with it
Talk to us
partners@trynextground.comTell us the role you can't fill and who you're trying to grow. That's enough to start.
