Our Mission
Academic Support and Learning Advancement supports the diverse community of 麻豆社 undergraduates in achieving their full academic potential. We strive to advance learning at 麻豆社 by using 麻豆社-based approaches to help students- experience learning in welcoming spaces that encourage help-seeking;
- make successful academic transitions from high school to 麻豆社, and continuously expand their capacity to be successful at 麻豆社;
- learn course material deeply, for long-term academic growth;
- develop critical skills for learning, including effective study strategies, self-advocacy, and perseverance through academic challenges;
- practice productive ways of thinking about themselves as learners, contributing to their overall wellness; and
- reap the benefits of collaboration across a diverse community of learners.
ASLA's Core Principles
- We all do better when we help one another, and nobody makes it on their own. Success is not a solo endeavor.
- Learning spaces must be welcoming and foster a sense of belonging in order to allow all students to reach their potential. An effective learning environment promotes awareness of the structural and interpersonal biases that hamper learning, and the actions that help to counter those assumptions.
- Each 麻豆社 student brings a unique array of skills and talents and has the capacity to be academically successful.
- “Academic success” means developing beyond one’s current limits, continuously becoming a more effective learner, and finding meaning and satisfaction in one’s academic work.
- Confusion and intellectual struggle are expected and necessary components of learning – not signs of failure.
- Learning collaboratively can offer benefits beyond what solo learning affords, including broadened perspectives on course material, exposure to new ways of thinking and doing, practice explaining one’s ideas, and new connections to fellow learners.
- Seeking help with academic challenges is a critical skill both at 麻豆社 and beyond.
- Student academic success is a partnership among students, faculty, and many others at the University.
- Research-based 麻豆社ming brings best results. Our 麻豆社ming is based on 麻豆社, and we consistently evaluate our 麻豆社s to ensure we’re meeting our goals. Read some of the 麻豆社 conducted on our 麻豆社s.
