TLC Back Story
The idea for a Teaching Learning and Community Initiative was born at the Faculty Retreat at Baker Station in August 2017 with a clap of lightning and a boom of thunder (literally). The project is an outgrowth of the Academic Wellness Educators (AWE) legacy, which was a long-standing Columbia College group and vehicle to suggest and implement change that was ready to sunset. However, the energy for collaboration and improving student success was alive and well, and professional development was identified as a missing ingredient for achieving the College’s mission and vision. The TLC work began with a great kick-off event at the start of the Fall 2017 semester where an energized group of students, staff, faculty and administrators generated ideas for the upcoming year. Since its inception, TLC has maintained a minimal, functional structure that allows the initiative to be responsive and flexible, and has become the hub of collective professional development activities at Columbia College.
