The Maternity Teacher Paternity Teacher (MTPT) Project
The MTPT Project is the UK's charity for parent-teachers.
From humble beginnings as a blog and a Twitter handle, inspiring, empowering
and connecting teachers choosing to complete personal and professional
development while on parental leave, the MTPT Project has grown into the voice
of parent-teachers in the UK.
The charity runs training and networking events, provides 1:1
and group coaching to teachers on leave, and is the only organisation
completing research into women aged 30–39 – the largest demographic to leave
teaching every year. Since 2016, the MTPT Project has worked to tackle the
motherhood penalty in education, to transform education into a sustainable and
"life-friendly" career choice for all.
