The TLC Process
-
1. Request a TLC
On our CTE webpage, click the link to request a TLC. You will complete a short form that asks about your class and any instructional goal(s) you'd like to focus on. -
2. Meet with your Consultant
After your request is received, you will be assigned a Consultant. Your Consultant will contact you to set up an initial meeting to discuss your goals for the TLC and to collect some preliminary information. -
3. Welcome your Consultant to class
As appropriate, your Consultant will observe a class session or examine your online course environment and set-up. Your Consultant will also explore your key course documents, such as your syllabus and schedule. -
4. Discuss your Consultant's suggestions
After the observation period, your Consultant will schedule a follow-up meeting with you. At the meeting, your Consultant will highlight positive aspects of your teaching and will offer new ideas to help you grow your teaching efficacy for your class. -
5. Receive your SCOOP and rate your experience
Once you've had your final meeting with your Consultant, you'll receive your SCOOP*, summarizing the ideas discussed at your meeting. You'll also receive a separate letter from the CTE to document you participated in a TLC, but without specifics of the consultation. You'll be asked to provide feedback about your TLC experience in a brief survey.
*SCOOP stands for Suggestions from your Consultant: Onward to Outstanding Practice
