Teaching Training Together

What Teaching Training Together does

Teaching Training Together (TTT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2010 and headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, that delivers no-cost professional development to teachers and school leaders in underserved communities. The organization trains educators in developing nations who lack access to formal pedagogical resources, with a mission centered on the premise that 'without trained teachers, schools are just buildings.' Historical operations were anchored in Haiti, where TTT trained more than 6,500 school leaders and teachers between 2011 and 2023 through in-person seminars and a Bourdon field office.

TTT's core offerings are two asynchronous online courses, 'Becoming a More Effective Teacher' (six modules over six weeks) and 'Becoming a More Effective School Leader' (two modules over four weeks), delivered in English, French, and Spanish via self-serve enrollment on the organization's website. Learners earn badges for individual modules or a Certificate of Completion for full courses, and the platform is designed to function without requiring live internet connectivity, which lowers access barriers in low-resource settings. TTT supplements digital delivery with a community-led model in which country partners in Haiti, Liberia, Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, and Côte d'Ivoire host in-person seminars and complete a seven-week remote facilitator-training program.

TTT is funded entirely through charitable donations (EIN: 46-1201810), processed via PayPal, with suggested giving levels of $120 per teacher and $60 per school leader trained. Course content is provided at no cost through an 'Affordable Course Content (ACC)' model, and the organization runs a scholarship/awardee pipeline that onboards new country partners. The 2023 pivot from in-person seminars to online courses expanded reach from eight countries to 100+ countries and 4,000+ enrollments, while the dedicated Haiti field staff were wound down as in-country seminars were phased out.
