Department Philosophy
As research-based developmental educators, we recognize and value that all learners have their own pathways as well as obstacles to learning. Although we believe students need to assume responsibility for their own learning, we also believe that students learn best in a positive learning environment that includes social interaction. We provide scaffolding through the support structures—the integration of technology, the access to useful resources and professional educators—that help students develop cognitive, metacognitive, and affective strategies.
