TLC Online Workshop Option
The Teacher Leader Certificate requires that you participate in three workshops that address assessment, technology, and
diversity. To fulfill a workshop event, you may attend a TLC-sponsored workshop or you may complete this Online
Workshop Option and submit a TLC Reflection Paper. Once you’ve submitted your Reflection Template to tlc@uiowa.edu
record your completion of this TLC Workshop option in the ICON Tracker. Only one (1) TLC workshop may be
completed online. Panopto videos are available in the ICON tracker under content.
Research-Based Article and Books Option
Pick one of the following research-based articles or books from Community or Assessment strands below. Once you’ve
read the article or book, complete and submit the TLC Knowledge & Skill Acquisition Reflection found at the bottom of
this document. Make sure your reflection addresses the following:
1. In what ways has the research article or book you reviewed either supported or changed your authentic
knowledge, attitudes, and/or beliefs? Give specific examples from the piece.
2. What new knowledge or new understanding of previous knowledge have you acquired from the published work
that you perceive will influence your practice? Give specific examples from the published work.
