  9. What is Teaching- Learning Critical Pathway (TLCP) The 3 P’s -Practical, Precise &Personalized (TLCP) is a promising model used to organize actions for teaching and student learning. -Building Capacity -Creating a Culture for Change Breakthrough By: Michael Fullan Peter Hill and Carmel Crevola

  10. Rationale for Teaching Learning Critical Pathway -TLCP • Setting high expectations for students • Using assessment for learning to guide instruction • Providing frequent, useful and useable feedback • Creating effective classroom discussions which elicit evidence of learning.

  11. The Six Secrets of ChangeBy: Michael Fullan • Love Your Employees • Connect with Purpose • Capacity Building Prevails • Learning is the Work • Transparency Rules • Systems Learn Pg. 23 “The quality of the education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers”

  12. PMI – Pluses, Minuses, Interesting FactsPluses • Teachers are putting students first. • TLCP uses data to inform instruction and evaluation. • TLCP as a model for learning engages teachers in the reflective practice. • TLCP fosters collaboration amongst teachers • Encourages a variety of assessments/evaluation (KICA-Knowledge Inquiry-Problem-solving, Application) • TLCP realizes the importance of students becoming self-regulated learners and the importance of developing critical thinking skills (H.O.T.S. – Higher Order Thinking Skills).

  13. Minuses OF TLCP • Trying to find the time during the day for teachers to reflect on their own practice. • TLCP model should not be perceived as extra work for teachers. • Another challenge is to view the TLCP model as a way of improving student achievement. Sometimes immediate results will not be evident.

  14. Interesting Facts about TLCPNetworking for learning.. • Vygotsky’s theory of Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) • Reflecting the Future Aces philosophy and “Me to We” philosophy of social justice , sharing. • Focus on problem-solving strategies and communication in both literacy and mathematics (i.e. Bansho, Gallery Walk, Math Congress).

  15. TLC Pathway • Gathering Evidence • Area of greatest need • Current Practice • Rubric • Data Wall • Culminating task • Classroom action/PLC Action • Moderated Marking • Communication

Outcome Results and review our Target Setting (by checking how accurate we were compared to our predictions • Choose our next area of focus • Align instructional strategies and resources • TLCP Timelines • Bring: TLCP Folder (with Tracking Outcomes Sheet) QCA/OCA Tracking Summary Sheet Language Curriculum Document

  24. Successes • Gradual release responsibility • Consistent assessments • Focusing Professional Learning Communities (PLC’s) on student needs • Ongoing professional learning

  25. What we would like to learn with and from others • More about using larger blocks of learning time to differentiate instruction for struggling students. • What the process of teacher moderation looks like in the schools. • Explicit-teaching strategies to accelerate learning for high-needs students.

  27. Steps for Answering Open Ended Questions

  28. Family of School Literacy Coach (FOSLC) • feedback from teachers and administrators about the TLCP has been very positive • PLC’s and moderated marking were very powerful for teachers – the dialogue and reflections among colleagues about their students, the work both teachers and students were doing, student achievement became much more positive over the year • schools planning for 2008-09 school year with TLCP’s in mind…moving towards clustering expectations and cross-curricular integration

  29. Next Steps • Continue Pathway with Grades 1-8 EQAO, CAT III and report card results to guide our “path”. • Begin a Pathway with Grade 1 • Writing answers to open ended questions • Use writing samples from first week as starting point
