Colorado Learning Assistant Program

The Colorado Learning Assistant Program is an educational initiative designed to enhance student learning in science and math courses at universities. It trains undergraduate students, called Learning Assistants (LAs), to support their peers by facilitating discussions, guiding group work, and helping with course materials. This approach fosters a collaborative learning environment, where LAs reinforce their own understanding while assisting others. The program aims to improve academic success and student engagement, ensuring that more students grasp complex concepts effectively. Overall, it creates a supportive community that enhances the learning experience for everyone involved.
