What is LTP

LTP is a learner-centered and participatory teaching methodology that engages students’ imagination, creativity and critical thinking skills. LTP lessons allow students to learn by doing, construct their own knowledge, teach one another, and connect learning to real life. The methodology encourages students to become more involved and invested in their own education.
