About us

Teachers Media International

A global provider of online professional development for the education sector — helping teachers everywhere become the best.

Our vision

To make the greatest impact possible on the life chances of children by working with educators across the world to ensure they are trained and supported to be the very best.

What we do

Teachers Media International is a global provider of online professional development services for the education sector. We lead the way in supporting teachers and educators with training needs, providing 24/7 connectivity, learning support, and customised resources.

Reflective practice

Our approach develops reflective practitioners and encourages professional development that is collaborative and focused on real school practice. This is vital to sustainable improvement in teaching and learning.

High-quality content

Research shows that teachers are very likely to transform their practice when they get to experience alternative strategies in a real classroom setting. That's why broadcast-quality video sits at the heart of our service.

Video is a cost-effective and engaging medium for sharing best practice. By harnessing the narrative power of video, we reach hearts as well as minds — making the very best use of digital technology to deliver resources to teachers and educators.

Global vision, local solution

Our workshops, Ambassador Accreditation programmes, and online community service can be rapidly implemented within a country. Every part of the offer is customisable and designed to be managed locally.

Where we operate

Teachers Media International works with schools, districts, ministries, and universities around the world to deliver high-quality teaching and online services that inspire and sustain education. We run country-specific sites that meet the needs of local education systems — UK, Canada, US, India, and Global.
