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.

Connection and Community

We provide a space for all stakeholders to gather online and share their perspectives and push forward the conversation around the future of education.

Classroom Voice

An AI-powered conversational tool that lets teachers, parents, students and the public share their challenges, breakthroughs, fears, and hopes for the future of teaching and learning.
