Learning Assistant Model

The Learning Assistant (LA) model involves trained students or peers who support and guide their classmates in understanding course material. LAs work alongside instructors, facilitating discussions, answering questions, and promoting active learning. This approach benefits both the LAs, who deepen their own understanding and develop leadership skills, and the students, who receive more personalized help and engagement. Overall, the model creates a collaborative learning environment that enhances comprehension, motivation, and classroom community.
