The Learning Resource Center (LRC) staff provides tutoring services to ALL students at Lincoln University. The goal is to provide students with learning experiences that will enhance their chances to excel academically and earn a GPA of 3.0 or higher so that students are prepared for graduate school or the corporate fast track. The mission of the Learning Resource Center (LRC) is to increase student persistence and retention towards a four-year college degree. The Learning Resource Center provides academic and academic-related support to aid students in the transition to college life and in the attainment of their university degrees. Tutoring has been shown as one of the top three best practices in retention and the tutors of the Learning Resource Center strive to provide the most effective services in order to enable students to achieve a four-year degree. Using a student-centered approach, assistance is provided for all students utilizing best practices based on published, peer-reviewed evidence, ongoing systematic assessment, collaboration and alignment with academic curriculum, current technologies, cultural competence, and an appreciation for diverse learning abilities to provide preeminent services.
The LRC tutoring program and tutors are certified by the International Tutoring Program Certification (ITPC) of the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) for Levels 1, 2, and 3. This entails 30 hours of training (ten hours per level) and close supervision. ITPC certification ensures that LRC tutors are knowledgeable about best practices and are professionally competent. |
