Learning Assistant (LA) Program Faculty Learning Community – pre-quarter meet-up

The Undergraduate Learning Assistants (LA) Program in the Sciences at UCLA is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary instructional strategy, in which undergraduate students who have succeeded in a course receive credit to learn how to help the next group of students succeed in that course. It is specifically geared toward large introductory science, engineering and math courses.  LAs thus help facilitate active learning and collaborative instruction in discussion, lab, and/or lecture.

If you have LAs in Fall 2025, this meet-up is designed to support you in discussing and finalizing any plans for LA implementation. In this shifting landscape, this feels like a time when it’s particularly important to check in with and support one another.

If you don’t yet have LAs and you’re interested in meeting instructors who work with them, you’re welcome to join and hear how folks are integrating LAs to create more effective courses.

Email LA Program Director Shanna Shaked at shaked@ucla.edu if interested in joining.
