Assessment

Goal: Participants demonstrate their understanding of TLC goals and principles
 
Role: Establish a sustainable plan for the continuation of TLC meetings
 
Audience: TLC group, future teachers/peers
 
Situation: TLC group must develop a plan for continuing meetings after training is concluded.
 
Product/Performance: TLC groups are responsible for creating a sustainable “Action Pan” for the continuation of TLC meetings in their school or community over the next 12-week period. Using the TLC framework, participants formulate themes and content for each session. Participants develop a sustainable meeting plan for the next three months (at least), developing target themes for upcoming session and providing rationale and related activities for each. In addition, each individual write a 2-3 page reflection on how the group’s “Action Plan” reflects TLCs values, principles and goals.

Participants are asked to reflect on various prompts related to the themes discussed in the preceding session. The trainer will be able to assess participants’ understanding of main concepts. Each participant receives and utilizes a TLC Workbook with a reflection menu for their journal entries. participant can choose from a number of different forms of reflections each week based on their needs, the content introduced and their learning styles. The reflection menu will include:

 

  • Narrative/anecdotes

  • Sentence starters (i.e. ”Today’s discussion reminded me of…”),

  • Timeline

  • Diagram

  • Drawing

  • Free write/free response

  • Prompt: something learned, how to apply it and a question you still have 

Journal Entries

Summative Performance Assessment

Session self-assessments

At the end of each session all participants will submit a self-assessment to the trainer. The trainer will use participant’ self-assessment to make modifications to further sessions. Sample questions to include in teacher self-assessments can include:

 

  • What went well?

  • What needs improvement?

  • What was challenging?

  • What was constructive?

 

The following formative assessment can be adapted to assess teachers’ learning of TLC values, framework and protocol throughout the TLC training workshop

Group Facilitation 

Each participant is responsible for planning and leading a group discussion using the TLC values, framework and protocols. Participants use concepts from the proceeding session to plan a TLC.


Depending on group size, participants either partner up or lead a session individually over the 12-week TLC training,
