Invest in Your Growth Without Paying Out of Pocket

Teachers

Many educators don’t realize they may not need to cover course fees out of pocket.

If you’re a teacher, instructional coach, or administrator, your school or district likely allocates funds specifically for professional development. These budgets are often available to support learning that aligns with district goals, especially around curriculum development, high-quality instructional materials (HQIM), and instructional leadership.

At HQIM Academy, our courses are designed with these goals in mind. They’re aligned with the skills educators need to deepen their instructional practice, contribute to curriculum work, or grow into new leadership roles.

We encourage you to:

  • Talk to your school or district leader about using PD funds or tuition reimbursement

  • Share how the course supports your current role or future goals

  • Request any documentation you may need from us—we’re happy to help

Professional growth is a shared investment. In many cases, educators have been able to enroll with full or partial support from their school or district. We’re here to support you in that process.

Curriculum Developers

If you're working in curriculum development, content creation, or instructional design, especially within education nonprofits, edtech companies, or publishers, you may have access to a professional development allowance through your employer.

Many organizations provide an annual PD budget to support ongoing learning, especially when it aligns with your core responsibilities or contributes to the quality of your work.

HQIM Academy’s courses are designed specifically for professionals like you: those shaping the instructional materials and systems that educators rely on. Whether you're writing content, designing learning experiences, or managing product alignment to standards, our offerings provide relevant, field-specific learning you can apply right away.

We encourage you to:

  • Check your organization’s employee handbook or ask your manager about PD reimbursement

  • Share how the course supports your work on HQIM-aligned products or instructional content

  • Reach out to us if you need documentation to support your request

Many of our learners in the field have successfully enrolled using employer-sponsored PD funds. It’s a smart way to grow your expertise—without dipping into your own wallet.
