And guess what? MC is going to be in the parade! We are looking for students and employees from all campuses who are interested in being in the parade or are willing to volunteer to help with the logistics of the day. Sign up using this link: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/2019OktoberFestParade">https://tinyurl.com/2019OktoberFestParade</a> .</p>
<p>The parade route is down Century Blvd, essentially from DSW to the movie theatre (a little less than a mile). MC will have a school banner, signs, flags from people's country of origin, and items to giveaway as we stroll down the street. Dress in purple and plan to join us! The first 50 students that sign up (and show up) will get a free t-shirt and a meal at Jimmy Johns.</p>
<p>Following the parade, BlackRock Center for the Arts will be hosting a beer garden, live bands, an open house, and an array of vendors on their lawn. The fire house, police department, and Salvation Army will also be hosting an open house. Miss Rainbow will be making animal balloons for the kids. Green Turtle is planning a German-themed afternoon on their patio, local businesses are offering great deals, and social media will be abuzz with lots of giveaways. Councilmember Craig Rice will be the Grand Marshal and Widsom Martin from Fox 5 DC will be the parade emcee.</p>
<p>MC will be running a shuttle service from the Germantown Campus to the downtown area throughout the day to make access a bit easier. We hope you will be a part of the "sea of purple" on Saturday, October 5 or alternatively plan to come and cheer on MC as we go marching by! #MCProud</p>

<p>The article, "Leveraging the Experience and Expertise of Learning Assistants in Remote Learning Spaces," discussed how Learning Assistants from across the country adapted to help their students in the new instructional space once institutions switched to remote instruction in mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to providing perspectives from students, LAs, and faculty, the article showcased a national panel sponsored by the Learning Assistant Alliance held in April 2020. Eight LAs from across the country came together for a discussion on "LA and Student Perspectives on Transitioning to Remote Learning." 75 faculty from across the country attended the event.</p>
<p>An, as the LA panelist representing Montgomery College, spoke about her experience in supporting students while being mentored as a Learning Assistant in General Chemistry I this spring. An spoke with both pride and gratitude for her opportunity to serve as an LA. An highlighted MC's approach in implementing the Learning Assistant model as the college transitioned to remote learning; she discussed how she helped students in the class adjust to remote learning; she talked about the benefits and challenges of remote learning for students at a two-year college; she highlighted MC's initiative of financially supporting students with laptops; and she presented ideas on how to connect with and motivate struggling students as an LA.</p>
<p>During MC's remote instruction period in Spring 2020, An and the other 36 LAs across the college supported approximately 900 students as they found creative ways to connect with and assist students attending their now-remote synchronous class sessions, moderating small group discussions in breakout rooms, leading Zoom study sessions, supporting students via a text-based app, and continuing their relationship with their LA faculty mentors as everyone developed new roles in the virtual learning environment. An did a great job at showcasing MC's LA program to the national audience.</p>
<p>The LA program at MC opens up opportunities for students who are considering a career in a STEM field to try on teaching. Poised to begin its eighth year at Montgomery College, the LA program has been very successful as it provides an additional peer-led learning resource for students in LA-supported classes, leading to increased academic success, as well as providing a unique teaching and mentoring experience for Learning Assistants early in their academic journeys. <a href="http://www.montgomerycollege.edu/LAProgram">www.montgomerycollege.edu/LAProgram</a></p>2StudentVoices_LAPanel.jpgattach/a34113a6-ce5f-36b4-e5fc-8c5f667eaf01/StudentVoices_LAPanel.jpgLAPanelistInAPSForum_Summer2020.pngattach/a34113a6-ce5f-36b4-e5fc-8c5f667eaf01/LAPanelistInAPSForum_Summer2020.pngStudentVoices_LAPanel.jpgattach/a34113a6-ce5f-36b4-e5fc-8c5f667eaf01/StudentVoices_LAPanel.jpgCollege News01800130Monday, August 10, 2020emailArticle.php?articleToEmail=98425details.php?id=98425&title=MC_Student_Highlighted_in_an_American_Physical_Society_Forum_on_Education_Articleaf89a9e3-6b8f-3dc4-51df-473c526ff56c982792020-08-10 00:00:01.000Nicholas BoydJoin the MC Recruitment Team for Virtual Enrollment Assistance!<p>"Make Your Move"and join us at one of our virtual enrollment events!
