Teacher Development Fund (TDF)

October 1, 2024

The Teacher Development Fund (TDF) is NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS for PD activities during the first semester (September-January 30th) as we have reached the maximum funding available. Applications received by September 30th will go on a waiting list.

When funding becomes available, we will re-open applications.   

Please ensure that you read through the Guidelines before applying! Click on the 2024-25 Teacher Development Fund Guidelines link  below to access the guidelines and google forms. The application forms are embedded into the document.

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.
