How do I write my own TLC course?

Think about what new learning you would like to acquire that will enhance student learning. Teachers are always acquiring new knowledge (attending a conference, participating in an on-line course, reading a professional book, collaborating with colleagues, etc.).

Make a plan by writing a course outline that will include: acquisition of new learning, implementation of the new learning with students in the classroom, and reflections about the impact on student learning. Visit the TLC home page on the PUSD website to access course proposal forms and view prior proposals to use as examples.
