SLXD: Leveraging Undergraduate Learning Assistants for High-Impact Teaching and Student Success In-Person / Online
Undergraduate Learning Assistants (ULAs) bring evidence-based peer-instruction theory to life and are recognized nationally as a high-impact practice that improves student learning, belonging, and retention. In this session we will:
- unpack the theoretical foundations of the ULA model;
- spotlight MSU’s structures and services: communities, training, and assessment tools that make ULAs possible; and
- guide you in mapping where and how ULAs can add value in your own lectures, discussions, and labs.
Upon completion of this learning experience, participants will be able to:
- Explain the theoretical foundations of the ULA model and its alignment with high-impact educational practices.
- Analyze their own courses to identify where ULAs can strengthen student engagement, equity, and achievement.
- Navigate MSU’s campus infrastructure to connect to communities, training, and assessment resources to allow them to recruit, prepare, and support ULAs effectively.
Special thanks to Dr. Stephen Thomas, Interim Associate Dean for Curriculum in Undergraduate Education, who will co-lead the session and share technical expertise.
The in-person location for this session is the Center for Teaching and Learning Innovation. Please join us in the Main Library, Room W207 (Training Room 1). For directions to Room W207, please visit the Room Locations page.
