The English department offers a number of institutes and programs that provide unique opportunities for both undergraduate- and graduate-level students as well as for youth and adults in the Seacoast community and beyond.
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.
