Teaching and Learning Communities (TLC)
Get Some TLC! Learning communities strengthen student friendships and make cross-subject connections by linking together teacher education (EDU) foundation courses with general courses. TLC instructors collaborate to maximize learning for Education majors in a four-semester block scheduling plan for elementary and secondary education majors. Students may elect to do all four semesters of the plan, or just one or two. The TLC is available at the Southern & Dobson campus.
