California Teacher Development Collaborative

25 Years of Partnering with Independent Schools

CATDC offers more than professional development. We are a career-long partner, supporting educators through every transition.

  • Practical Tools and Resources
  • Mentorship and Leadership Opportunities
  • Connection and Community
  • Growth and Advancement

Whether you're just beginning or stepping into your next big role, CATDC is here to help you build capacity and make a lasting impact.

What We Offer

A Comprehensive Approach to Professional Development

  • Programs: Equity-centered professional development that connects educators across schools. Whether in-person, virtual, or hybrid, our programs foster collaboration, deepen practice, and build community.
  • Consulting: We partner with you to design the inservice you need, offering customized support that meets your goals and brings meaningful learning to your campus.
  • Coaching: One-on-one and small group coaching supports educators and leaders at every stage. Coaching creates space for reflection, clarity, and action.

A Community Built With and For Independent Schools

  • Facilitated by Member School Leaders: Leaders from member schools facilitate many of our programs, sharing their expertise and fostering connection across roles and regions, strengthening the vibrant ecosystem that powers CATDC.
  • Hosted in Welcoming School Communities: Schools host programs on their campuses, creating warm, inclusive environments where shared learning and collaboration thrive.
  • Co-Created with Educators: Participants tell us what they need, and we design responsive and relevant offerings in return, co-creating learning experiences that meet real challenges and opportunities.
