What is the LTP Blog?

We’ve created the LTP blog to feature projects by students and teachers in Durham, NC as well as the photography and writing projects created across the United States and abroad by educators, artists, and students who have trained in our LTP classes and workshops. We also hope this blog will provide a forum for dialog among our widening audience.

Participating in LTP Blog

Please feel free to comment on posts in order to ask questions or create a dialogue.

To contribute to the blog, please send an email to ltpworkshops@duke.edu. We are interested in learning about the content of your program and the group of people with whom you collaborate. Please send us samples of your students’ or collaborators’ writings, photographs, or videos. We’re also interested in having people share lesson plans or classroom experiences and tips.
