Teaching-Learning Critical Pathways (TLCP)

Teaching Learning Critical Pathways is an effective inquiry model for Professional Learning Communities who are seeking to continuously improve student learning. It gives Educators a framework in which they can explore critical thinking. Research tells us that humans learn best when concepts are:

introduced a few at a time	important to the learner
taught over a long period of time	applied in a variety of texts & contexts	(Keene 2008)

The TLCP precipitates focused, precision teaching and assessment, based on current student needs, over a long period of time. The pathways are continuous thus allowing PLCs to apply their new knowledge in a variety of contexts.
