Founded by teachers and school leaders in 2012, the Teacher Development Trust (TDT) is the national charity for effective professional development in schools and colleges. We are dedicated to improving the educational outcomes of children by ensuring they experience the most effective learning. We build tools to help teachers transform their practice and achieve success for all their pupils.
Our approach is underpinned by the key principles of effective teacher professional development and learning. Using a strong international evidence base of what constitutes successful teacher professional development, we are working with the entire education sector to promote the principles of good Continuing Professional Development (CPD) by:
TDT Network: Stimulating demand for high quality CPD through our membership of schools & colleges supporting world class, evidence informed professional learning
Training: delivering training, including National Professional Qualifications, and bespoke consultancy support to schools engaging in collaborative teacher enquiry models l
Research and Advocacy: Publicising and disseminating research, and campaigning to raise the status of professional development
