ASC 1100 - Foundations of Peer LeadershipCredits: 1 The Foundations of Peer Leadership course will serve as the initial platform for orienting incoming Peer Leaders to the role, value, and framework of peer leadership. This one-credit course will focus on the foundational knowledge, skills, and tools necessary for Peer Leaders to be successful in their work supporting students and is designed to be taken the spring before officially starting the Peer Leader role. Through the overarching course framework of appreciative advising and role-modeling, Peer Leaders will learn seminal student development theories, academic support strategies, sources of motivation and effort, and peer coaching practices. Class time will be focused on practicing learned skills and knowledge through case studies, role plays, and discussions. Students will practice strategies for assisting other students in building their network and developing a self-advocacy toolkit. Student leaders will leave with a thorough understanding of their Peer Leader tools, strategies for selecting the appropriate tool, and practices for application.
