Learning Assistant Program

Learning Assistants (LAs) are undergraduate students who are prepared to provide support for student learning in an interactive classroom environment. LAs, imbedded inside the classroom, can help facilitate active learning and collaborative instruction in lecture, recitation, studio, and/or lab. Impacts of the LA program include improved content understanding, stronger community in the classroom, and smaller student-to-faculty ratios. LAs differ from TAs and PLUS Leaders in that they focus on support inside the classroom. Their main goal is to help assist with active learning and student success during the lecture, studio, or lab time. A list of courses supported by semester can be found by scrolling down below. To apply to be an LA, please click on “Join Our Team” in the upper right corner of the website to fill out the Tutoring and Academic Support common application.

For any questions regarding the LA program or if you’re interested in bringing the LA program to your course, please reach out to Sara Beth Montgomery (sara.montgomery@gatech.edu).
