Combining the poll results with the comments of some who apparently did not vote it seems like there are quite a few student TDs and/or faculty and staff TDs with limited relevant background. I think it's important to try to get out of this how to most effectively potentially assist people in those positions, so knowing the processes and resources those in such situations use could help with that.
So for the student TDs, how do y'all learn? Do students pass what they know on to new students? Do you teach yourself and if so, how? Do you get experience and information from sources such as productions or classes outside school? Is there any 'quality control' on what is 'taught' or passed down?
Sort of the same questions for faculty or staff TDs with limited relevant background or education, how do you try to gain relevant knowledge and experience? Do you use and try to learn from more experienced volunteers? Does the school support efforts to increase your knowledge outside the school?

In the 18 years that I've taught high school theatre, yours is the first I've heard of. Most TD's teach tech classes as well. It's VERY uncommon.Newton North, the school I work for has a full-time TD as well as myself, a part time ATD. It's not all THAT uncommon.

I was a full time TD as well at a High School and a member of the faculty. Also, the High School I attended had a full time TD that was not on faculty.
My district has about 8 full time staff dedicated to the theaters, and not a single one of us teach.
