Product Description & Methodology
For teachers looking for highly engaging relevant online course offerings to earn formal credits toward re-licensure, recertification, salary advancement, and graduate credits.
TKL’s Comprehensive Courses leverage field-tested, research-based strategies, personalized practical solutions, digital collaboration, and critical reflection to transform their instructional practice.
We take an innovative approach to the design and delivery of effective, efficient, capacity-building professional development for teachers. Our online professional learning program blends essential learning theory with the practical real-world application necessary for today’s teachers.
Each learning opportunity is designed to support educators in making evolutionary changes to their instructional practice. Every teacher begins where they currently are within the course focus and then, through cycles of critical self-reflection and experiential, or in-classroom work, they focus on making positive changes to their practice.
Through the use of both formative and summative learning activities, participants are taken through a scaffolded approach to creating better learning classrooms for students.

Testimonials
"I have every intention of turn-keying this PD to my math department as a way to develop our teachers and our students in strategies for solving math. I can’t wait for the upcoming year as I know this will make a huge improvement in my pedagogy, in student retention of information, in understanding and applying mathematics."

"I want you to know again how in awe I am of the people who created this course. It’s so well-constructed, so well-conceived, you had me like a suspense novel. I have no doubt that my students will be so much better off than they would have been had I not taken this course."
