Transformative Learning Communities (previously known as TRIBES) at OISE 2018-19
Building Learning Communities: 24 hour Certification Course for Educators

Time: Monday, December 10 to Wednesday, December 12
Location: TBD

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Transformative Learning Communities (previously known as TRIBES) is an instructional approach with integrated teaching strategies that combines eight research-based components to maximize student learning and development. This approach to teaching and learning shows educators how to select and sequence cooperative learning strategies to effectively integrate academic learning with social skills. When the Transformative Learning Communities approach is used, students experience a powerful sense of trust and inclusion in their learning community. Research shows that students also develop greater personal confidence, gain skills to actively participate in activities, and are able to achieve success through increased retention of academic content.
WORKSHOP COSTS AND REGISTRATION
The cost of Transformative Learning Communities workshops is $185. There is an additional cost of $60 for Transformative Learning Communities book. The book is required course material as part of the workshops. The Transformative Learning Communities book is only for sale on the first day (Dec. 10th) for 30 minutes before the 9am start of the course. Please bring cash for the purchase of these materials.
