The New Millennium Initiative’s (NMI) teaching policy toolkits support the efforts of teachers advocating for teaching policy reform across the United States. These pages offer tools that NMI teachers – and others who are working to build a results-oriented profession – can use to explore the cycle of advocacy more deeply, understand issues and levers of change in public education more clearly, and power advocacy initiatives in their states and communities directly.
