The Provincial Knowledge Exchange (PKE) Extending and implementing learning from the TLLP

From the origins of the TLLP

Since 2007, the Teacher Learning and Leadership Program (TLLP) has funded over 900 project proposals from experienced classroom teachers seeking a peer leadership role in curriculum, instructional practice or supporting other teachers. The learning of the teacher leaders involved in these TLLP projects represents a tremendous reserve of educational knowledge.

The Provincial Knowledge Exchange (PKE) provides school boards with a funded opportunity to tap into this learning by connecting past TLLP participants with interested school or board learning teams. The PKE enables continued learning and professional growth opportunities via sharing knowledge and practice with teacher colleagues and school board staff both within and beyond their own board of education.

As part of the TLLP program, the goals of the PKE are to:

•Create and support opportunities for teacher professional learning
•Foster teacher leadership
•Facilitate the sharing of exemplary practices with others for the broader benefit of Ontario's students

Eligible Expenses

Eligible expenses must directly support the learning and implementation of each project (from October - May). These include release time, resources to support professional learning and travel expenses. Examples include:

  • Release time for TLLP facilitators and PKE participants (e.g., teachers attending professional learning session facilitated by TLLP project leads)
  • Release time to support follow up and implementation at board and school level (e.g., teacher collaboration in grade or subject teams supported by board staff and/or TLLP facilitators)
  • Resources to support professional learning sessions (e.g., printed materials, consumables, room fees)
  • Travel and accommodation expenses for TLLP facilitators, participating teachers and board staff (if applicable)
PKE funding is not provided for classroom supplies, technology or other resources not directly associated with the project

How to apply

Applications may be completed by school teams (principal and collaborating team of teachers), superintendents or school board staff. The board TLLP Contact is responsible for submission of the application form to the ministry.
