Funded originally by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and now supported jointly by Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges, the Teaching and Learning Institute (TLI) embraces a partnership model of faculty and student academic development. Visit the expanded TLI website for more information about pedagogical partnerships, TLI programming, and resources for teaching and learning in the Bi-Co and at other institutions.

LTT stands for Laɣim Tehi Tuma, “Thinking Together” in Dagbani, a language of Northern Ghana where the program was founded by a grassroots collaborative. Comprised by local educators, educators from Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges, and students and community members of both settings, this collaborative acts as a threshold between communities, organizations, and individuals sharing a vision of education that contributes to global Black liberation.
