Professional Development Built on the Science of Learning.
Teaching Capital helps independent schools build faculty who understand how brains learn, retain, and change — and who actually teach differently because of it.

You know the pattern: bring in an expensive consultant, sit through an all-day workshop, teachers nod along... then nothing changes by Monday morning.
The research is clear: 90% of professional development fails to transfer to classroom practice.
Not because teachers don't care. But because:
- External "experts" lack classroom credibility
- All-day sessions overwhelm rather than equip
- There's no follow-up, no accountability, no support
You're spending thousands. Your teachers deserve better.
What are tiny PDs?
They're 20 minutes. Led by your administrators. Teachers see immediate benefit.
We've designed professional development the way it should work:
Administrator-Led → Your school leaders deliver it. Teachers trust them and buy in.
Bite-Sized → 20-minutes sessions during faculty meetings. No lost instructional time. Sessions can be extended or shortened.
Ready-to-Use → Complete slide decks, guides, and implementation tools. Just login and deliver.

Teaching Capital was founded by Piers and Maggie Blyth. Between us we've taught in public schools, charter networks, and independent schools. We've consulted, coached, been administrators, and trained teachers across school contexts.
That breadth is what makes our work grounded. We know what great teaching looks like across every environment - and we built Teaching Capital to bring that knowledge directly to your faculty.
