Learning Assistant Pedagogy Course
Learning Assistants enroll in a three-credit, once-a-week, 75-minute course for on-going facilitation training. The course is LS:1014 “Learning Assistants Training - Pedagogy: Creating Collaborative Learning Environments” and covers topics such as metacognition, helping skills, and diversity, equity, and inclusion in classrooms. Learning Assistants will integrate their facilitation experiences and the pedagogy content through class discussions and reflection assignments.

Peer Mentors are students who served as Learning Assistants in the past and now assist with pedagogy course initiatives such as class discussions and providing one-on-one feedback to current Learning Assistants. Peer Mentors provide support and guidance from their facilitation experiences!
