The TCI Approach
The TCI Approach is based on research-based instructional practices and theories. Teachers curriculum Institute (TCI) is a publishing company based in Palo Alto, California and the creators of the History Alive Series. History Alive and Social Studies Alive textbooks are written considerate text, which "involves four stages: previewing the content, reading, taking notes, and processing the content or reviewing and applying what has been learned." TCI also provides step-by-step teacher resources and maintains an online community of teachers that follow and share best practices. Review the TCI Approach and consider how it differs from the pedagogy of traditional textbook programs.
