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 school year with TLCP’s in mind…moving towards clustering expectations and cross-curricular integration

34. 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

35. Personal Reflections Teamwork
