Institute/Session Summary:
Overview: The Learning Center Leadership Certification program is an
official service offered to the learning assistance community by the
National College Learning Center Association (NCLCA). NCLCA’s
Learning Center Leadership Certification (LCLC) gives individual learning
assistance professionals a nationally recognized credential and set
of standards by which to foster their future growth and development.
Furthermore, certification provides an interdisciplinary, comprehensive
approach to recognizing the accomplishments of people in the field through
benchmarking, sharing experiences, and training in theories and best
practices in learning assistance. LCLC focuses on evolving levels of
practice, training, self-reflection, service, and evaluation. New practitioners
as well as long standing professionals will find NCLCA Certification
beneficial to their careers.
Learning Objectives: This institute will familiarize participants with
the LCLC program and its benefits to them as learning center administrators.
Participants will be able to identify their qualifying level of certification
