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.

Meet Our Undergraduate Coordinator!

Sydney, LA Coordinator

 

My name is Sydney and I am a senior majoring in Interdepartmental Studies. This is my first semester as the Undergraduate Coordinator, but I spent the past four semesters involved in the program as a Learning Assistant. I have a passion for helping others and supporting student learning. I hope to attend a Master's program post-graduation to become a higher education professional. In my free time I like to watch lots of TV, cheer on the Iowa Hawkeyes, drink Dr. Pepper, and try my best at cooking.
