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.

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, with full courses taking 20-45 minutes to explore. Easy to fit into lunch, planning periods, or your commute. Partner schools get structured implementation time built into their PD calendar. No Saturdays required.

We can help with that. TDI provides resources to share with leadership, including ROI data, implementation research, and case studies from partner schools. Many administrators become our biggest advocates once they see teachers actually 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 and podcast, plus affordable courses in the Learning Hub. Schools partner with us through customized packages based on their size and needs. 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.
