Reviews
The Rowman & Littlefield Guide to Learning Center Administration: Leading Peer Tutoring Programs in Higher Education is a helpful text for learning center administrators, tutors who want a more in-depth look into how learning centers generally work, and other higher education administrators that want to help support their learning centers. The book's chapter topics, research discussions, and reflection questions create a foundation for important conversations on how administrators can improve their learning centers to positively impact the students that walk through their doors., Another strength of this work is the way the authors blend research and practice. Inside each chapter, the authors do not simply write about learning center practices; instead, they bring together research and then describe how it applies to learning center practice and administration. [...] The way the authors blend research and practice allows readers to both digest what otherwise might be confusing and inaccessible articles and figure out how to apply it in their own learning center., Though a few competing texts are on the market, Sanford and Steiner's guide is likely to be the go-to source for professionals new to the field or who need a foundation of published scholarship because of its brevity, clarity, and accessibility., The Rowman & Littlefield Guide to Learning Center Administration is a helpful text for learning center administrators, tutors who want a more in-depth look into how learning centers generally work, and other higher education administrators that want to help support their learning centers. [...] The simple synthesis of learning center topics and the combination of research and practice are boons for learning center directors who desire to improve their own area in order to aid their student body as a whole. The book's chapter topics, research discussions, and reflection questions create a foundation for important conversations on how administrators can improve their learning centers to positively impact the students that walk through their doors., Authors Sanford and Steiner have made an important claim--that learning centers can be the very heart of the work of a postsecondary institution. In order to create centers of excellence and foster a culture of learning, tutoring program administrators must assess everything, from crafting mission statements to reporting outcomes. All learning assistance professionals can find guidance and inspiration in this book.

Synopsis
The Rowman & Littlefield Guide to Learning Center Administration is a thorough, concise resource for leaders of higher education peer tutoring programs, encompassing both theoretical and practical aspects of providing peer tutors with the conditions to succeed. The Guide supports learning center administrators in articulating the value of the programs they oversee, and delivering impactful, effective services for the campuses they serve., This text is written for the large audience of professionals who recently entered the field of learning center and writing center administration, or who have been working in the field but are now seeking to connect to the broader professional community. The book presents a guide to the major practical concerns and best practices of which administrators should be aware in developing peer-led programming. Every learning center administrator will benefit from this practical advice, including setting a vision, designing and furnishing the physical space, going virtual, assessment and reporting, training and supervising staff, and much more., The Rowman & Littlefield Guide to Learning Center Administration is a comprehensive guide to everything that both new and experienced learning center professionals need to know in order to deliver impactful, effective services for the campuses they serve, articulate the value of the programs they oversee, and provide peer tutors with the conditions for success. The companion to the popular Rowman & Littlefield Guide for Peer Tutors, The Rowman & Littlefield Guide to Learning Center Administration provides a thorough and readable overview of both theoretical considerations (the historical context of learning centers in higher education, an articulation of the principles that underlie peer tutoring programs, and a cataloging of the various extant forms of peer-led learning) and organizational concerns (building a suite of programming, hiring and training student employees, program assessment, campus outreach, marketing, reporting) in the administration of peer tutoring programs in higher education. The Rowman & Littlefield Guide to Learning Center Administration presents a structured approach that is firmly grounded in empirical findings from across the literature of teaching, learning, and student success, and it articulates a set of best practices that can be used as a guide in evaluation and assessment for learning centers.
