The 2019 TBLC Annual Meeting in Tampa, Florida is already proving an enormous success! Key Fundamentals workshops like Creating an Effective TBL Module and Fundamental Principles and Practices have been so successful that they have already sold out more than a month before the open of the meeting. To accommodate as many educators ready to earn their “Knowledge of the Fundamentals of TBL” certificate during their time in Tampa, we have INCREASED the cap on those workshops to 75 people per course! You can now register for all five of those sessions here!
