About FTI

Putting teachers at the center of the AI conversation.

The Future Teaching Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research organization studying how AI and technology are transforming education — and what that means for the people who teach.

Our Mission

Research-driven. Teacher-centered.

AI is already in homes and classrooms. It's shaping how students learn, how curricula are designed, and how schools operate. But teachers are too often left out of the decisions being made about their profession.

The Future Teaching Institute exists to change that. We collect data on how teachers enter and develop in their profession across countries, study the tools and technologies present in today's classrooms, and help steer the conversation shaping the future.

We are not an ed-tech company. We are not a policy think tank. We are a research-driven nonprofit that believes the future of education must be built with teachers, not around them.

What we do

Our work spans research, data collection, and direct engagement with the educators whose voices matter most.

Research & Data

We study how teachers are prepared, certified, and supported across more than 150 countries — and how technology is changing every part of that pipeline.

Classroom Voice

An AI-powered conversational tool that lets teachers, parents, and students share what they're seeing in classrooms — the challenges, breakthroughs, fears, and hopes.

Global Perspective

Education is a global challenge. We bring an international lens to questions that are too often answered in isolation, comparing systems and sharing what works.
