The Essential Elements of the LA Model
Practice: LAs facilitate discussions and activities in class, focusing on student thinking and understanding.
Preparation: Weekly meetings with instructors to plan classes and discuss student progress. LAs co-design with instructors and help implement class activities.
Pedagogy: LAs enroll in a special pedagogy course to support their development and growth as LAs, learning evidence-based strategies, student-centered and inclusive teaching practices, and practical strategies.
