Teacher Development Aotearoa

Teacher Development Aotearoa (TDA) is a not-for-profit organisation promoting  kaiako and teacher professional learning and development (PLD). We are contracted by the Ministry of Education to lead, coordinate, and support the Networks of Expertise (NEX) programme in our role as the Network Hub.

We believe in cross-sector collaboration and connection, and we believe in the delivery of tailored PLD ‘for kaiako, by kaiako’.

TDA proudly partners with the Ministry of Education and teacher unions NZEI and PPTA.
