“If we want educational environments that support all students, it is clear that we actually have to involve them in creating those environments - to structure their voices into them.” Elena Marcovici (Student Contributor, )

Are you an undergraduate student who is curious about disruptive pedagogies, has an interest in or experience with , and is dependable and organized? The ASSETT group and the Center for Teaching and Learning are creating a team of undergraduate student consultants to partner with faculty to improve the teaching and learning experience through the “Students as Pedagogical Partners” initiative. This initiative positions students as collaborators with faculty, staff, and peers in transforming the educational experience. Through interdependent partnerships, undergraduate students and faculty collaborate to develop, revise, or co-create course content, develop strategies to make learning more accessible, and co-design projects. 

Through this year-long appointment, the consultants gain experience in:

• Contributing a student’s perspective through collaborative partnerships;

• Negotiating conflict and differences in perspectives;

• Collecting data, compiling artifacts, and providing formative and summative feedback on their experiences.

This is an ideal experience for those who are self-starters, feel comfortable working on emergent projects, and desire to exercise self-advocacy, autonomy, and agency.

Consultant Benefits

Consultants will also receive: 

• Pedagogical training about the Students as Partners framework, course design, Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity in the classroom, and Equitable teaching. 

• Guidance on exercising interdependence, communication, and analytical skillsets.  

• Experience in project collaboration, curriculum design, peer-to-peer engagement, and other marketable post-graduation skills

Consultants will be paid $18.00/hr and work 5-10 hours a week.
