Faculty who have completed the “newer faculty” professional development series:��

This semester, we are recognizing faculty who have recently started working with LAs and have participated in all aspects of faculty learning sessions designed for faculty who are new to the LA Program. We appreciate your commitment to building strong instructional teams that include LAs while also making changes to your course that foster meaningful student and LA interactions. These faculty completed sessions including (1) All Faculty Meetings, (2) New Faculty Workshops through the Learning Assistant Alliance or LA Faculty Orientation at �鶹��Ѱ�����Boulder, and attended (3) at least one early-semester check-in during weeks 4 or 5 of the semester. Thank you for your time and efforts and for contributing meaningfully to our program!

Faculty to be recognized this semester:

Departmental Coordinators:��

Departmental Coordinators are faculty representatives from each department that seeks LA support in their courses. Departmental Coordinators serve as liaisons between LA Program staff and the faculty and leadership within their department. They thoughtfully guide the implementation and spread of LA-support throughout courses within the department, engage with and recruit faculty, identify key courses that could benefit from LA support, and take on leadership in recruiting and interviewing LAs for upcoming semesters. Departmental Coordinators also provide feedback to faculty on their LA course proposals and help LA Program Staff connect with and coordinate between departments. They are an essential part of the distributed leadership model of the LA Program, and an indispensable resource for LA Program Staff, other faculty, LAs, and students. Thank you for your service and support! Learn more about our Departmental Coordinators, here.��

We will be recognizing this semester’s new Departmental Coordinators (Bold**) with a certificate.��

On behalf of the �鶹��Ѱ����� Learning Assistant Program, we would like to express our appreciation for all current LAs who have contributed to the educational mission of the Program by serving an LA for their third semester. We recognize your investments in continued pedagogical training that support both your students, and the faculty and New LAs with whom you work. We are grateful for your contributions and proud of you for the ways you have pursued personal growth and development, too! Thank you for your hard work and dedication!

On behalf of the �鶹��Ѱ����� Learning Assistant Program, we would like to express our appreciation for current LA Mentors, all of whom contribute to the Program’s education mission in multiple ways including by supporting first-semester Learning Assistants through the challenges and successes of their interactions with students. LA Mentors support New LAs in weekly group mentoring during the LA Pedagogy Course and individually through one-on-one mentoring sessions, and make lasting impacts on their mentees. Their work also has broader impacts on LA-supported courses and the experiences of LAs, faculty, students in these courses, and on one another, and LA Program staff. Finally, LA Mentors have invested significant time examining how they approach their interactions with others in order to intentionally and effectively wear the mantle of a growth-oriented mentor, as well as focusing on their own growth and development while participating in EDUC 4620, “Becoming an LA Mentor”. We are proud of you, grateful for our time with you, and fully believe that we couldn’t do this without you! Learn more about the LA Mentor Program, here!��
