5.2. T-LCP or Teaching-Learning Critical Pathway is a model for delivering curriculum and collaborating with colleagues. Effective T-LCP’s help engage and promote learning for students and teachers. As we have been learning and working on the T-LCP process in the course it is clear that this is a multi faceted process. As mentioned by many in their work, a T-LCP should be focused on an area of need that is based on assessment data. As a team, creative and engaging tasks are developed that focus on the area of need. Within the T-LCP there is a climate of high expectations. Collaborative Inquiry is a cyclical process where teachers in a school collaborate to achieve a common goal which will help students achieve success. Why Collaborative Inquiry? “Collaborative inquiry holds potential for deep and significant change in education. Bringing educators together in inquiry sustains attention to goals over time, fosters teachers’ learning and practice development, and results in gains for students.” – Canadian Education Association, 2014
