The professional development strand in ACPS called Teacher Leadership Program – Collaborate (TLP-C) is an opportunity to build and continue a community of practice collaborating, modeling and implementing relevant, engaging and innovative technologies in the classroom. There is one online session offered each month. Each online session is co-facilitated by ACPS teachers through Blackboard Collaborate, an online collaboration platform. Teachers present virtually on digital topics based on teaching and learning in their classrooms. Teachers share digital tools and resources, effective strategies and student work. There is time during each session for discussion, exploration and collaboration. The TLP-C blog is a venue for continuing the conversation and learning beyond the live, online sessions.

All teachers are welcome to participate in TLP-C. Levels of participation are Drop-in and Committed Participants. Drop-ins attend sessions as they are able or can listen to recorded sessions posted on this blog. Committed Participants must be active participants in at least 6 of the 8 live sessions (active participants will be engaged in chatting, raising hands, active in polling, etc) and be present for the entire live session.  Committed Participants will also complete 3 reflections throughout the year and provide evidence of the implementation of the tools and strategies presented in the sessions.
