This interactive workshop examines how Undergraduate Learning Assistants (ULAs) can be intentionally developed as learning leaders who support active, inclusive classroom environments. Using a structured ULA program embedded within large, upper-division STEM courses as a case study, the session highlights how peer educators are recruited, trained, and mentored to facilitate learning both in and beyond the classroom. Participants will be introduced to practical strategies for integrating ULAs into high-enrollment courses, including defined roles and expectations, pedagogical training, and mechanisms for fostering community and student engagement. Concrete classroom examples illustrate how ULAs support active learning through formative assessments, group work, hands-on activities, and peer-facilitated learning sessions.
