This summer, Boise State University (BSU) undergraduates will have a new opportunity to take their learning to the next level with the support of Lee Pesky Learning Center (LPLC).
LPLC, a 501c3 education nonprofit headquartered in Boise, creates pathways to learning for individuals facing learning challenges through a three-tier model: educator training, literacy pods, and intensive intervention.
LPLC’s educator training has a focus on working with teachers of children Pre-K to third grade.
In February, BSU undergraduates can sign up for the summer special topics course, “Building the Academic Skills of Students with Learning Challenges”.
Students train on evidence-based instructional methods with the opportunity to teach 1-2 young learners for multiple weeks, alongside trained professionals from LPLC.
University students will receive ongoing mentoring while learning how to implement what works when teaching reading to children who face learning obstacles.
LPLC’s Executive Director, Dr. Lindy Crawford says, “Boise State University is providing undergraduate students with a one-of-a-kind learning experience. Kudos to the university for capitalizing on this unique opportunity benefitting university students as well as Treasure Valley’s youngest learners. I am excited to welcome students to this course!”
Registration for this course will formally open on Feb. 21 here.
