Mission and Vision

The Tutoring-Learning Center’s mission is to offer student-centered academic support across disciplines. In cooperation with faculty and staff, the center provides peer-to-peer assistance through individual and small group collaboration.

The Tutoring-Learning Center staff strives to maximize academic potential and promote student success and retention in a safe and welcoming environment. We adhere to the following views of learning:

· An inclusive environment is integral to a liberal education.

· Every student brings unique abilities to the UWSP campus

community.

· Each discipline has a unique way or reading, writing, and learning.

· Learning is not generic; learning always occurs in a specific context.

· Active learning improves a student’s ability to be successful and

leads to student ownership of learning.

· Collaboration encourages the development of critical thinking and

benefits both learner and peer educators.

· Training of peer tutors, consultants, and discussion leaders includes current learning theory and promotes ethical practices.

· Peer educators model successful learning strategies which encourage students to thrive in a university environment.

· Collaborative relationships with faculty and staff members across departments and disciplines are a vital component for delivery

of our services.
