Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA)

The Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) was a UK organization responsible for supporting the professional growth of teachers and school staff. It funded training programs, developed leadership initiatives, and worked to improve teaching quality across schools. Its goal was to ensure educators had access to continuous development opportunities, ultimately enhancing student learning and school performance. The TDA operated until 2010, after which responsibilities for teacher training and development were integrated into broader departments and initiatives within the education system.
