How can we as 21st century educators provide our students with the education they need? Practical, Precise and Personalized The Teaching-Learning Critical Pathway (TLCP) is a promising model used to organize actions for teaching and student learning. The TLCP, inspired by a strategy presented by Michael Fullan, Peter Hill and Carmel Crévola in their book Breakthrough, is designed as the work of the professional learning community (PLC). (For an overview of the structure and benefits of PLCs, go to http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/literacynumeracy/inspire/research/PLC.pdf The basic idea of the pathway is that classroom practice can be organized in a practical, precise and highly personalized manner for each student, with the intended outcome being increased achievement for all students. The model which sequences the work of each PLC is an organizer for deep learning and inquiry. However, it should be noted that a teaching-learning pathway is not simply a technical exercise. It also involves new ways of working together. Google document to TLCP: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZtVp-kaFfgfHHtxwx-MuDZiM-zYLCG6ZnuC8zXaYgh4/edit?usp=sharing |
