Privacy Policy

Teaching to Thrive is run by the McNichol ECE Lab at the Drexel University School of Education. This policy explains what information teachingtothrive.net collects and how we use it.

What we collect

• Registration details that center directors give us: center name and address, director contact details, and each teacher's name, email, hire date and preferred start month.
• Course and coaching records: cohort, progress milestones, coaching sessions, weekly free times, and certificate and stipend status.
• Phone numbers that teachers and coaches add to their dashboards, and mobile numbers people give us to receive text updates.
• Text consent records: when you sign up for texts, we save your number, the time, where you signed up, and the exact consent wording you agreed to. We also record STOP, START and HELP replies.
• Messages and applications you send through the contact form or the coach job application.

How we use it

• To place teachers in a cohort, match them with a coach, and run the course.
• To send emails and texts about the course, coaching appointments, deadlines and program announcements.
• To let coaches, instructors and center directors support the teachers they work with.
• To evaluate and improve the program. Research uses codes in place of names.

Who can see it

• The Teaching to Thrive team at Drexel.
• A teacher's coach and instructor, and their center director (course progress and coaching assignments).
• Classmates see each other's names and centers only, never emails or phone numbers.
• Service providers that help us run the site, send email, and send texts (Twilio), only to provide those services.

Text messages and mobile numbers

We use mobile numbers only to send Teaching to Thrive messages. We never sell mobile numbers or use them for marketing.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third parties.

Reply STOP to any text to unsubscribe, or HELP for help. Texts are optional. You don't need them to take part in the program. See our Terms of Service for the full text program terms.

Keeping it safe

Information is stored securely and access is limited by role: people only see what they need for their part of the program. We keep records as long as needed to run and evaluate the program and meet grant reporting requirements.
