In 2009, Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS), the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers (CFT) and the Cincinnati Association of Administrators and Supervisors (CAASS) participated in a study by The New Teachers Project (TNTP) to explore policies and practices that prevent teachers from maximizing their impact on student learning. The results were reported in December 2009 - "Human Capital Reform in Cincinnati Public Schools: Strengthening Teacher Effectiveness and Support"

At their meeting on 3/16, the Executive Committee authorized Association President Bill Scheyer to add his signature to an open letter from TNTP urging, ". . . the entire community to support real change that will provide every child in our community access to a superior education." The letter also invites everyone to a Community Conversation on the report on April 8th.
