Climate Change Leaders
February 2020 TCI launched Climate Change LeadersTM (CCL) with Mohawk College and ten area school districts. The purpose of CCL is to transform school buildings to a carbon-neutral model while developing the capacity and capability in our youth for future jobs in clean technology.
Environmental Youth Leadership
We also have 20 years’ experience in providing an occupant-behaviour component. In 2003, TCI co-created EarthCARE (EC), An Environmental Youth Leadership Program, for students in Grades K-12, engaging 100,000 students in their schools’ efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), trimming millions of dollars of utility, water and waste management, lights off, computers off (LOCO), community activities, curriculum and other key efforts.
Brand Strategies
In the mid-to-late 1990s, we spearheaded the Better Schools Partnership® (BSP), a brand strategy that generated new capital for school-building renewal, resulting in an enhanced learning and teaching environment. In 2005 a new strategy was developed and launched – QTLE (Quality Teaching and Learning Environments) – which addressed school-building hindrances that impact teaching and student learning.
