Learning Through Enquiry Alliance (LTEA)
A partnership has been established of several CETLs across England which have a strong focus on Enquiry and Research-Based learning. The LTEA is committed to:
- supporting the development of students as competent, critical and creative enquirers;
- cooperating to achieve greater benefits for our institutions and the sector as a whole;
- a research-informed approach to pedagogic development;
- making a positive difference to students' lives;
- acting as a collective voice in teaching and learning policy debates.;
- pooling and co-developing knowledge about how to accomplish large scale strategic change – so as to become better catalysts, brokers and agents for change;
- acquiring the technology so that our dedicated spaces to support students' learning can be connected to optimise the opportunities for staff and students to interact and create new communities of enquiry.
Amongst our activities is an annual national conference.
