About Us
We solve the transfer problem in professional development.
At Teaching Capital, we help schools transform faculty capability through professional development that actually changes classroom practice. When teachers learn implementation systems—not just inspiration—student outcomes improve, faculty confidence grows, and your investment in PD finally delivers returns.
Most schools invest heavily in professional development. Few see that investment transfer to Monday morning teaching. That's the gap we close.
We apply cognitive science to how teachers learn teaching methods—because transfer doesn't happen by accident. It's engineered.
Our Mission
To make every school in the world better at professional development. We do this by applying the same cognitive science frameworks that drive student learning—cognitive load theory, retrieval practice, spacing effects, and transfer-focused design—to how teachers learn new teaching methods. The result: faculty training that actually changes classroom practice.
What We Do
Teaching Capital designs professional development for implementation. We help heads of school, assistant heads for academics, and division leaders:
- Build faculty capability that transfers - Training systems that move from workshop to classroom practice
- Design PD teachers actually use - Research-based methods that stick beyond the initial inspiration
- Turn expert teachers into faculty leaders - Equip your best educators to train and coach their colleagues
- Measure what matters - Track classroom adoption and student outcomes, not just satisfaction scores
Our work bridges cognitive science and classroom reality: the rigor of research meets the practical demands of Monday morning teaching.
Our Philosophy
Professional development is a system, not an event.
Sustainable faculty growth happens when PD is engineered for transfer—with clear objectives, practice protocols, feedback loops, and implementation support.
Great teachers deserve great training.
The fastest way to improve student outcomes is to improve how teachers learn and adopt new teaching methods. Most PD fails here.
Excellence should scale.
We build frameworks that make effective teaching practices repeatable, measurable, and transferable across your entire faculty—not dependent on individual teacher brilliance.
Our Vision
To make your school's "teaching capital"—your faculty's collective instructional capability—a standard metric of school health, as vital as endowment size or student outcomes. When teaching improves, everything improves: student learning, faculty confidence, retention, culture, and your school's competitive position.
We believe every independent school can build world-class teaching capacity. It requires the right systems.
