Learning Assistants to Flip Introductory Physics at CSU Sacramento

In 2011 we started a program on our campus aimed at improving student success in STEM disciplines through a flipped classroom facilitated by Learning Assistants (LAs). Currently more than 400 students and 30 learning assistants benefit from the program every semester. Last year's eportfolio presents preliminary statistics. We applied for a second year grant with two main goals. Goal number one is to continue to improve and carefully grow the program by supporting faculty and LAs. The second goal is to build a learning skills website to provide resources that can help students improve their metacognitive skills, and learn how to learn. The LAs become better learners for participating in the program, and we want to extend these benefits to as many students as possible.
