I noticed that you missed some information about Chuck Baird. This will give you some ideas on what you could add about Chuck Baird.

   - Who is he? 
    -How did he impact the deaf community as a deaf artist?
            o	He is well known in the deaf community 
            o	I would recommend you to check out Deafart.org to get more information about Chuck Baird.                   
            http://www.deafart.org/Biographies/Chuck_Baird/chuck_baird.html
     -How has he affected TLC?
            o	TLC invited Chuck Baird to create a visual history of the deaf community into a mural in one building. It took him a year to complete the whole project. 
    - Another suggestion for important contributors to TLC is Joseph Thomas Kopas. Joseph Thomas Kopas is on the TLC website. http://www.tlcdeaf.org/page.cfm?p=611

I think it is great that you chose The Learning Center for the Deaf to work on because I do think you are right - the wikipedia page does need an expansion. I am not sure if you are aware but TLC has actually renamed its schools to Marie Philip School which should be mentioned in this article. (http://www.tlcdeaf.org/page.cfm?p=424&newsid=234).... Other things to add when talking about Marie Jean Philip is her strong philosophy about bilingualism - you can connect this page to the bilingual bicultural education page as well as the bilingual education page in general. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilingual%E2%80%93bicultural_education). Another idea would be to add more information about what ages TLC supports and more information about the Walden School at TLC.

-Obviously we're all in the middle of our articles at the moment, but I think you have a great start! Like above, I think it's great that you picked this article because TLC is an important part of Massachusetts Deaf history. I know you are still adding things, but I think the history of TLC is an important part of the school and a table can be created for user readability and clarity. I would suggest a small section with all of the information about the history found here http://www.tlcdeaf.org/page.cfm?p=363 (as I'm sure you already know) and then create the small table that highlights important parts in TLC's history. I'm sure you already have more ideas about how to build up your page, but this is an excellent start! I really like the information box on the side, you're doing great!

-This is a great start. Since I did not know anything about TLC and it is very interesting to know that there is such an education institution that has a special program. I really like your idea to add the section of the contributors because schools for minority students like TLC need contributors who understand its importance to be maintained. In the lead section, you mentioned that "The Learning Center's curriculum fosters knowledge and respect for both American Sign Language (ASL) and English, a bilingual education, and for Deaf American and hearing cultures." I am interested in what kind of educational curriculum or program does TLC actually offer. It seems that TLC is for students with many different backgrounds and I would like to know what makes TLC a successful education institution for deaf students, hard-of-hearing students, and students with mental challenges.Kazito (talk) 03:46, 21 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Since The Learning Center encompasses several different programs, I think it makes sense to go into more detail about what those other programs are. The Walden School is a pretty unique service, not found at most schools for the Deaf. The audiology services are open to the community. There is the Center for Research and Training (CRT) that focus on developing student assessment and improving education and interpreting services. Just helps to clarify that the MPS is under TLC and not the only element of the program. Structure1019 (talk) 21:01, 3 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
