The LAA Resources provide assistance to faculty and program coordinators seeking to start, scale, improve, and sustain their LA program. Core features, contexts, and cases are explored for:
- Program management
- Ways to use LAs
- Weekly content preparation meetings
- Pedagogy Courses
- Assessments/Outcomes
Videos, pedagogy course materials, program management documents, and program snapshots are available.
In this video. Dr. Valerie Otero describes how the LA Model, characterized by the three central elements, is a program you emulate rather than replicate. Find more resources that fit your particualr program by logging in.

Contexts
Weekly Preparation in Small, Medium, and Large LA-Supported Courses
LA Programs at different institutions can support large classes, small classes, or a combination of small and large classes. A large class supported by LAs might, for example, have 20 LAs who assist instructors in the multiple sections of General Chemistry and work with a single coordinator, rather than the individual faculty for the course [See example video from CU Chemistry]. Midsized LA-supported classes might have a single faculty member with four or five LAs [See example video from CU Biology]. Small LA-supported classes may have a single faculty member working with a single LA or even two faculty members with a single LA [See example video from CSU Physical Science].
