LAs should expect to spend 8 – 9 hours/week (on average) on all paid LA responsibilities, including weekly preparation meetings, individual content preparation, and LA-Student Interactions.

LAs are expected to treat all students with kindness and respect, and promote a safe, inclusive, learning environment. 

• LAs attend all sections and meeting times assigned to them.
• LAs respond to all contact from Lead  Faculty and Course Coordinators within 24 hours.

You and your fellow LAs meet with a department faculty member (usually the Lead Faculty) to prepare for the upcoming week, reflect on the previous week, and sometimes analyze assessment data from previous terms. 

How to get the most out of these meetings:

• Review concepts ahead of time
• Check the syllabus to see what to expect in the course material for the coming week.
• Reflect on interactions you had with students over the past week and which ones you would like to discuss with the team.
• Consider ideas, changes, and suggestions to the course materials. Your voice is essential for improving the course and supporting students!

You will learn and practice evidence-based techniques for supporting and enhancing student learning, in a community designed to support you in your LA-student interactions.
