Coming Soon to TCSII
Be sure to watch for the following updates that are coming to the Taking Center Stage—Act II portal:
This TCSII tutorial introduces educators to the many features of this rich portal using a Captivate movie presentation format. It offers users a playbar control to start, stop, advance forward, or move backward during the 20 minute movie.
There will also be an "Alternate Accessible Version of Online Navigation Tour" available.
- Professional Learning Toolkit
- TCSII Road Show Professional Learning Modules
The Middle and High School Improvement Office will post “Professional Learning” modules to help each middle grades faculty learn how to implement the concepts included in the Taking Center Stage—Act II recommendations.
The TCSII Road Show learning modules were included on the TCSII “Road Show” CD which each middle grades school team will receive upon completion of the Road Show training through their County Office of Education (see the Calendar for more details). The professional learning modules include the following:
Module #1: Setting the Stage
Module #2: Backstage Pass
Module #3: Meet the Recommendations
Module #4: Dress Rehearsal.
- "School Design Game" modules used to build understanding of the TCSII recommendations at the 2008 California League of Middle Schools Conference.
Additional modules will be developed to help schools go deeper into the TCSII recommendations and content.
