Peer Academic Advocacy

Personal Skills Demonstrated: Course development, staff training, student-centered instruction, peer mentoring, student engagement

Snapshot of Training Material:

The training curriculum was designed around the LASSI that each first-year student completed during the second week of classes. The assessment provided feedback to the peer academic advocates on what areas they would need the most improvement. By providing training targeted to each area, PAA’s were better prepared to serve all students.
