Learning is an organization for the promotion and implementation of a

course-length workshops, including a 54 hour Skilled Teacher
Certificate, and programs that promote the improvement of
teaching. The Institute follows a
Mission Statement focused on the promotion of a culture of teaching
excellence and is led by a Steering
