TalimK12 is built to be simple. Here's everything you need to get started.

Six steps. None of them long.

  1. Download the app

    TalimK12 is on iOS and Android. Both stores carry the same app, so pick whichever fits your phone.

  2. Create your account

    Sign up with your email, Google or Apple ID. Use a personal email so your account follows you through every job change. Your 20-day free trial starts here, no card needed.

  3. Set your goal

    Tell TalimK12 how many PD hours you're working toward this year. You can change it any time from the Profile screen.

  4. Log your first activity

    Tap Log, fill in the title, date, hours and type, and save. That's it: the activity is on your record. At a listed event, scanning the session's QR code does it in one tap.

  5. Export a report

    Open Reports, pick a school year or your whole renewal cycle, and generate. TalimK12 builds a clean PDF you can save, share or print.

  6. Submit to your school (optional)

    If your school uses TalimK12, you can send any activity for admin approval straight from the activity's detail screen.

Frequently asked

Answers to the obvious questions.

What happens to my data if I change schools?

Your record belongs to you and goes with you. When you leave, you choose whether your former school keeps a read-only copy of what you shared while on staff, or loses access entirely. You keep the full record either way.

Can I use TalimK12 without connecting to a school?

Yes. Solo teachers get the full app with no school involved. Connecting to a school is always optional, and nothing from before you joined is shared unless you say so.

How do I submit PD for approval?

Open the activity, tap Submit to school, and confirm. Your school admin approves or denies it from their dashboard.

What file formats can I attach as evidence?

Most common image and document formats: PNG, JPG, PDF and HEIC. Attach a certificate to an activity and it stays with the record.
