Institute for Training and Development

As ITD turns 40, we’re grateful for the incredible global network of educators and changemakers who have been part of our story. Thanks to those who have already supported our fundraising efforts—your generosity is making a difference. We are meeting regularly to plan the necessary restructuring and adjustments to our programming and operations to ensure ITD's continued success.

Despite the recent cuts, ITD is grateful to be able to carry out much of its regular summer programming. This includes implementation of its 22nd Teachers’ Summer Institute and 16th Student Leaders from the Western Hemisphere program. We are honored to be able to continue our work with emerging leaders who are making a difference by bringing fresh ideas and practical strategies to their home communities.

Additional support from others is critical to sustaining our work. Your contribution helps maintain the ITD house, fund new programs, and ensure future participants’ experience the transformative learning that defines ITD. These programs don’t just change lives while they’re happening—they ripple outward, strengthening communities around the world. Donate today. Share your story (by May 15th).

As the Study of the U.S. Institutes for Secondary Educators (SUSIs) participants wrap up their final week in Washington, DC, we highlight what they’ve been up to for the past month! The participants visited local high schools, explored historical cultural institutions and attended over 30 academic sessions on topics such as applying LGBTQ+ inclusive instructional strategies and examining foreign policy from the Cold War to present day.

SUSIs, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, for Secondary Educators are designed for international educators to enhance high-school level curricula and enrich teaching about the United States.
