TCI’s Approach to Learning
TCI’s high-quality programs ensure standards coverage and leverage research-based teaching strategies that make learning accessible and engaging for every student.
In a TCI classroom, students go beyond memorizing facts. They get hands-on to engage with the content and collaborate with one another. Together, students construct arguments, evaluate sources, interact with images and videos, and participate in rich discussions through TCI’s approach to learning.
