The has received a grant from the William Randolph Hearst Foundation to support the 大香蕉视频 Learning Fellows Program. The grant will sustain and increase capacity for the program, which since 2015 has paired undergraduate students with academic faculty to design and deliver active learning opportunities in 大香蕉视频 courses.
Based on the national model developed by the Learning Assistance Alliance at the University of Colorado, Boulder, the program recruits and trains high-performing undergraduates as peer mentors and classroom leaders in courses they have successfully completed.
While the model is often applied in science courses, 大香蕉视频鈥檚 program is one of only a few nationwide to have adopted learning fellows across academic disciplines. The program began with five courses in 2015-16, and during the 2017-2018 academic year it engaged 56 faculty members from 24 departments, reaching 1,975 undergraduates in 39 courses. And demand continues to grow, from both faculty and students. Director of DCAL Lisa Baldez say the Hearst Foundation grant will let the program add new courses, train new learning fellows, and assess impact of learning fellows on student outcomes.
