Teacher Development Fund (TDF)

May 5, 2025

The Teacher Development Fund (TDF) is no longer accepting applications for professional learning opportunities in July and/or August. 

The next round of funding will be available mid-June for activities that occur in September.

Please note that the Local office is closed through the summer and expense claims and applications received after June 23, 2025 will be processed in late August. For expense claims, the 45-day deadline is waived through the summer.

Please ensure that you read through the Guidelines before applying!

2024-25 Teacher Development Fund Guidelines

Highlights of some of the changes:

  • The two-year individual maximum is $2,800. (This is the first year of the next two-year cycle.)
  • The annual group maximum is $2,000 per group member to a total maximum of $10,000 per group. (A group is two or more members.)
  • We are no longer accepting receipts for meals - a new per diem has been introduced.
  •  There are no longer paper forms - we've moved to Google forms for the application and expense claim process. Links to the forms are embedded in the Guidelines document.
  • We are no longer covering non-instructional fees for post-secondary courses.
