TMLC is a place online where educators can learn, collaborate and create effective lesson plans, standards-based test items, and higher-order thinking exercises that prepare students for career and college readiness. One of the strongest components of the Thinking Maps Learning Community is the comprehensive library of professional development materials – a wide range of courses offering a deep understanding of a specific topic, available on-demand via short, video-based modules.
