With TKL, you have the flexibility to learn at your own pace and on your own schedule.
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.

This was a very challenging course that caused me to reflect and grow as an educator in the area of mathematics. I really liked how the course was structured. I could see my progress. Grades were inputted regularly so I knew where I stood. The teaching strategies were varied.

Course ~ Engaging Families in Support of Student Learning, Grades K-12
Lansing, Michigan
"It was a wonderful experience for me because I am a speech therapist in a school with students who are poor and many are in shelters. Many are far below grade level and are highly distracted. Throughout the course, I saw so many of my students and started applying some of the strategies with them as I took the course."
Course ~ An Introduction to Social Emotional Learning, Grades K-12
Los Angeles, California
"I thoroughly enjoyed doing and engaging with this course (maybe it's because I'm a math teacher). The amount of learning and work was just right. This course went directly to the point of doing the work for each module and I didn't have to answer a bunch of unnecessary repetitive questions or meaningless activities."
