Thank you so much for getting the word out about our new Integration LSA position recruitment that was posted earlier this month. I’m reaching out again to let you all know that we are initiating a second recruitment for a more traditional ACE Learning Skills Advisor! Unlike the new Integration LSA position, this traditional ACE LSA position focuses purely on supplemental instruction and does not include collaborating with faculty on curriculum design.
Please spread the word to any recently graduated students or colleagues with a background in STEM education who are passionate about student success, teaching, and learning and wish to hone their skills in evidence-based teaching, curriculum design, and educational equity! :
Under the general supervision of the ACE Program Director, the ACE Learning Skills Advisor (LSA) works to improve learning outcomes for STEM students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are enrolled in selected UCSC mathematics and science courses requisite for their STEM bachelor’s degrees. The LSA leads and facilitates intensive, collaborative problem-solving sessions for these courses, holds weekly individual or small group support or advising sessions and conducts problem-solving exam review sessions. In addition, the LSA writes letters of recommendation supporting students’ applications to extracurricular STEM opportunities as well as graduate and professional schools and contributes to the professional development of ACE student co-leader/peer mentors. ACE has a long history of supporting disadvantaged students in their successful pursuit of STEM bachelor’s degrees. The ACE Program’s success is reflected in the performance and retention data. In order to verify the success of the ACE Program, the LSA monitors individual program participants’ attendance in ACE Program Sessions as well as their overall university experience and progress. This is a non-academic position.
Please direct anyone who you would consider a great candidate to the application information below:
