Reinvigorate your teaching in a community of peers.

Attend the Librarians Active Learning Institute (LALI) to develop and refine your skills as a learner-centered teacher through the practice of active learning pedagogy–that is, pedagogy in which students are made active collaborators in the learning process. 

At LALI, we embrace three simple principles of student-centered learning: meet, engage, reflect.

  • Meet students where they are.
  • Engage students actively in the process of teaching and learning.
  • Encourage students to reflect upon and to articulate their learning process.

LALI is a multi-day program held annually in the summer on Dartmouth's campus in Hanover, NH. 

LALI 2025 is an internal offering for Dartmouth Libraries personnel. Applications will open next in early 2026.

Testimonials

LALI was the best professional development training that I have attended. It was fun, it was intense and the people I met and worked with were awesome.

It was an excellent and complementary interweaving of the theoretical and the practical. Some portions of it were inspiring, others challenging, but never a dull moment.

LALI was a very well-organized, practical, hands-on professional development opportunity. Definitely one of the most worthwhile workshops I've participated in!
