Five Days in a Model Classroom,
Lasting Impact Back at School

The QTL Process begins with teams of teachers attending five days of active, participatory learning sessions in a model classroom. During 2007, almost 200 Franklin County teachers attended this 'QTL Core,' which explores concepts and strategies including:

• Brain-Based Learning
• Classroom Environments Conducive to Learning
• Learning Styles
• Multiple Intelligences
• Differentiation
• Cooperative Learning
• "Engaged Learning"
• Critical Thinking Skills
• Assessment
• Professional Learning Communities

As effective strategies are modeled during the course of these sessions, teachers begin to see how all the above can be applied in their classrooms, to engage their students in their content.

Among other things, participants learn the value of technology and other teaching tools that engage students, finding valuable and effective ways to make the most of every resource available to them.

How Teachers Take the Process to Students...

"QTL has been the most useful professional development that I have ever attended...
The classes were extremely interactive and each day I was excited to attend and participate. There have been many new things that I have already done with my students as a result...
If only all workshops
could be this beneficial!"
