When educators thrive, students thrive.
For over 25 years, CATDC has helped California independent school educators thrive by offering trusted and relevant professional development, building strong local connections, and serving as a career catalyst. Our programs make a difference for educators who participate, their school communities, and most importantly, their students.
We are a nonprofit created with independent schools, not just for them—rooted in collaboration, shaped by educator voices, and responsive to the evolving needs of our community. Join us in breaking down barriers to vital learning and growth.
We rely on generous donations to provide membership grants and scholarships to programs like Teaching Foundations and Leadership Fellows. Here are some ways you can support CATDC:
Janet McGarvey Fund
The Janet McGarvey Fund is a three-year initiative with a goal of raising $100,000. This fund will ensure that more educators can benefit from CATDC programming through:
- Individual scholarships for early-career teachers and aspiring leaders
- Membership grants to schools with demonstrated need
- Program discounts for schools experiencing financial constraints
We appreciate your ongoing support.
