About the Partnership
The Elon Teaching and Learning Partnership (ETLP), is a collaborative scholarship of teaching and learning program for secondary and post-secondary school faculty. ETLP involves year-long inquiry communities of high school and university faculty investigating common questions about student learning, leading to improved teaching at both the high school and college level.
The Partnership involves teachers from the public school systems in Alamance and Orange counties and faculty from Elon University.
ETLP bridges the divide that often exists between high school and post-secondary teachers. Participants in the program work together to investigate specific problems in student learning. For example, they may look for more effective methods to help students understand abstract mathematical concepts.
