Have you ever considered integrating a peer tutor into your classroom? In this episode you’ll hear an abridged recap of the Workshop - Instructor Best Practices for Embedded Tutoring led by Learning Assistance Professor, Dianne Rowley.

We’ll learn data on the impact, the equity-focused philosophy of embedded peer tutoring, strategies for embedding support, and the faculty role.

Mt. SAC Librarian Monika Chavez will share the why and how of course-integrated librarian engagement for student success, followed by David Sarabia, Manager for Academic Support Coordination, who explains how stereotype threat may create barriers for students and how to avoid triggering it through the use of asset based language. Enjoy!
