About LTA
LEARNING THROUGH ACTION has its roots in the active learning strategies pioneered by Professor Reg Revans and others in the 1960s and '70s.
Our brand of active learning was first developed by Annette Cotterill in the early 1980s as a B.Ed. honours elective course. Concerned that structured interaction to facilitate learning was largely absent from teacher training at that time, in 1983 she formed LEARNING THROUGH ACTION which started to deliver lesson-support projects, using the techniques, across Berkshire and beyond.

In 1991 the Learning Through Action Trust was formed – a not–for–profit company limited by guarantee and registered charity.
We welcome observers at our workshops by prior arrangement.
Over the years we have welcomed visitors from across the world, including a number of teachers/students from the UK and abroad (eg Japan, Colombia, New Zealand, Tanzania) who have worked with us on secondment for from three to twelve months.
Because the work that we deliver for children and young people is non-statutory, i.e. is not work required to be provided under UK Education Acts and regulations, we receive no direct UK Government financial support.
We depend on donations and sponsorships, and contributions from those hosting our workshops.
