Frequently Asked Questions

TDI was built by teachers who got tired of sitting through PD that had nothing to do with real classroom challenges. Everything we create is action-focused, designed to be used Monday morning, not "someday." We also respect your time with a flipped model that lets you learn on your schedule.

No PowerPoint marathons. No "turn to your partner and discuss." TDI content is created by practicing educators, backed by research, and built for immediate implementation. You'll walk away with tools you can use, not binders you'll never open.

We start by listening to teachers about what they actually need. Then our team of educators and experts collaborate to design research-backed, actionable tools. Everything goes through real classroom testing before it hits the Learning Hub.

Four, and they build on each other. The Pulse is a steady signal on how your staff are really doing, and what to do about it. The Focus takes one priority and works it properly, with leadership sessions built in. The Cohort moves a group of your educators through the same work together. The Blueprint is the full build: everything above, across the whole staff, for the year.

Learning Hub access for the staff you enroll, live sessions with our team, a dashboard showing what your people are actually doing rather than who signed in, and classroom observation notes written back to your teachers by name. How much of each you get is what separates the four.

Partnerships start at 2.5k. Where you land above that depends on how many staff you are bringing in and which of the four fits, so we quote it after one conversation rather than guessing on a webpage.

It usually comes down to two things: how many people you are trying to reach, and whether you already know what you want to fix. If you know the problem, start at The Focus. If you are still working out where the pressure actually is, start with The Pulse.

We get it. Teachers are stretched thin. TDI is designed to save you time, not add to your load. Our strategies focus on working smarter: better systems, more efficient planning, and sustainable practices that reduce the Sunday Scaries.

If you're burned out, you're exactly who we built this for. TDI isn't about doing more. It's about doing better with less effort. Start small. Even one strategy that saves you 30 minutes a week adds up to 18 hours over a semester.

That's up to you. Courses are broken into 3-5 minute sections, so you can take one on a lunch break, a planning period, or the drive home and stop whenever you need to. Partner schools get structured implementation time built into their PD calendar. No Saturdays required.

We can help with that. TDI gives you things worth forwarding: the partner dashboard showing what staff are actually doing, observation notes written back to teachers by name, and case studies from schools already doing this. Many administrators become our biggest advocates once they see teachers using what they learn.

Both! Individual teachers can access our full Learning Hub online anytime. Partner schools get live workshops, coaching sessions, and ongoing support tailored to their specific needs and goals.

Individual teachers can access free resources through our blog, plus affordable courses in the Learning Hub. For schools, partnerships start at 2.5k, and where you land above that depends on your staff size and which of the four ways of working fits. We believe cost should never be the reason a school can't support its teachers.

Absolutely. 80% of the schools we work with secure external funding for TDI. We help identify grants like Title II, ESSER, and state-specific opportunities. Our team can even help with the paperwork.

Paras are essential, and often overlooked in PD. TDI content is designed for all educators, including paraprofessionals, instructional aides, and support staff. Partner schools can include their full team.

Yes. We work with elementary, middle, and high school teachers across all subjects. Our strategies are adaptable whether you teach kindergarten or AP Physics. We also support specialists, interventionists, and instructional coaches.
