K-12 Teaching Licenses
Many research studies have been conducted questioning the impact LAs have not just on student learning, but beyond, like K-12 teacher recruitment. At CU Boulder, the number of undergraduates in a STEM major issued a teaching license per year doubled since the LA Program exploded in 2006.
