A Detailed Description and Breakdown of Teaching Learning Critical Pathways (From LDCSB)

The London District Catholic School Board has created a comprehensive guide to TLCPs called Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Beginning a TLCP.  This resource comes with samples, photos and templates.  If you are engaged in TLCPs, this is a great opportunity to see what other school boards are doing in meeting their 'big ideas' and instructional objectives.

TLCP Planning Framework

A quick video on motivation - from Daniel Pink.

Daniel Pink author of "Whole New Mind" and "Drive" has produced a quick 2 minute video which presents 2 questions that link to our own motivation in work and life.  It is an interesting video which can be used as a great discussion starter with students.  However, it is used as a bit of teaser for Daniel Pink's book, "Drive" so there is a quick plug at the beginning and end of the video.  Check it out.

Pathway to Big Ideas - TLCPs

Teachers who are engaged in conducting a TLCP (Teaching-Learning Critical Pathway) should check out this website.

http://pathwaytobigideas.wikispaces.com/

Teachers have begun posting their 'big ideas' and describing their learning pathways. The wiki or blog or social networking site provides a great opportunity for educators to share and collaborate. I would be interested in seeing how this forum evolves.
