Assistant Learning Specialist Positions

As a crucial component to the Directed Studies staff, Assistant Learning Specialists (ALS) primarily work with student-athletes who have learning differences or other academically related needs. Some of the tasks which the ALS staff may assist student-athletes with include, but aren’t limited to: writing, reading, time management skills, organizational skills, note-taking skills and test preparation. The overall goal is to implement a routine to assist in developing student accountability and ultimately guide the student-athlete into becoming a self-regulated learner.
