Learning Assistance and Developmental Education: A Guide for Effective Practice
No Customer Reviews
Developmental education and learning assistance have a common goal: to maximise learning potential for all students from the underprepared to the high achieving. Drawing on important new theories on how students learn, this book provides both novice and experienced educators with practical suggestions for creating and managing learning programs, providing better instruction, and deepening their understanding of students. The authors take an in-depth look at learning assistance programs that have been developed at four very different types of institutions a community college, a technical school, a private research university, and a public research university. Using these case studies to illustrated theories and approaches in practice, the authors show how learning assistance and developmental education professionals can meet diverse student needs, increase accountability, manage resources more effectively, use technology, develop and maintain professional standards, and promote a sense of leadership and student advocacy.
