Learning Through Teaching Program

An in-service program designed to help K-12 teachers meet their professional goals in teaching reading, writing, and literature. This innovative approach is unique because it brings teacher education into the school and teacher's classroom. It is sponsored by the New Hampshire Literacy Institutes of the English Department in collaboration with the UNH Graduate School. Learning Through Teaching also offers one-day workshops, usually in the fall.
