TEACHER DEVELOPMENT FUND PILOT PROJECT

The deadline for summer courses is Friday, June 18, 2021.

Ensure that your complete application (application form, brief description of the PD activity and fee information) is sent to tdf@edpub.org no later than two weeks prior to your PD start date. All applications will be date stamped based on the date the email was received.
