TLC Team Spotlight
MENTOR/MENTEE PROGRAM
A very important part of our TLC program involves our mentor teacher leaders. All teachers new to the profession, mentee teachers, are assigned an experienced mentor teacher. Each mentor/mentee pair meets weekly or biweekly, and their discussions focus on a specific goal. At the end of each trimester, the entire group meets to reflect on their challenges and share their successes. As we move into the final trimester of the school year, the focus will include characteristics of a 21st century teacher. Mentor/mentee groups will observe a TLC model teacher in action around one of the 10 components of 21st century teaching.

Teach Like a Pirate
Middle school and high school faculty previously read this inspirational book as part of professional development. Included are practical techniques and innovative ideas that help increase student engagement, boost creativity, and transform educators.
Dave Burgess
The TLC Instructional Coaches attended a seminar facilitated by Dave Burgess, the author of Teach Like a Pirate. Dave is a teacher who believes students - each and every one of them - should be actively engaged in their own learning.
Student Focus
Student engagement is a focus at FCCSD at all grade levels. The "PIRATE" acronym is the premise behind Dave's method of teaching. Burgess empowers and inspires teachers to engage students, give them ownership in their learning, and help them reach their full potential.
