Teacher Development Fund (TDF)

June 27, 2024

The Teacher Development Fund (TDF) is now accepting applications for PD activities during the 2024-25 school year!  

Please note that the Local office is closed June 28th and will re-open on August 26th. All applications received over the summer will be past-dated to the date the application was submitted through Google forms to ensure you are meeting the two-week requirement.

For expense claim for the 2023-24 school year, the 45-day deadline for expense claims is waived during the summer. All applications and expense claims received during the summer will be processed when the office re-opens.

Please ensure that you read through the Guidelines before applying! Click on the links below to access the guidelines and google forms.
