Learning Assistants Programs

A Learning Assistant (LA) is a near-peer student who works in the classroom to aide in the learning process. LAs differ from teaching assistants; TAs generally assist the teacher (grading, preparing materials) while LAs assist the learner (guided inquiry, working through challenging ideas. Classes with LAs have been shown to improve conceptual understanding and course pass rates. The number of LA programs at two-year colleges (TYCs) is growing. Join us in this interactive session to learn about LA programs, and hear from TYC faculty who have incorporated LAs into their teaching toolkit.
