CSUSM Learning Assistant Program
The LA program helps support math and science courses and provides math and science majors with a structured introduction to teaching. The CSUSM LA program is modeled on the LA program at the University of Colorado.
Learning Assistant Program goals:
- Recruit and prepare talented science majors for careers in teaching
- Engage science faculty in the recruitment and preparation of future teachers
- Improve the quality of science education for all undergraduates
- Transform departmental cultures to value research-based teaching for ourselves and for our students

CSUSM Mathematics and Science Teacher Initiative
