Locations for each meeting will be posted to the web as soon as they are known as well as emailed to all TCs.

TC Inquiry Communities

Inquiry communities allow an opportunity for teachers to work together to research and develop a new theory or technique that can then be applied to the classroom or school environment. With guidance from a member of the Leadership Team, TCs will learn to conduct research, collect and analyze data, and write a report of the results. Topics for TCICs are limited only by the imagination of the participants. Contact the Inquiry Team for further information and to start a community.
