| Abstract: | The primary purpose of this paper is to emphasize and reiterate the centrality of the faculty role in tutoring and learning centers, where peer-to-peer, discipline-specific collaborative learning is the primary objective. This paper provides a breadth of content for practitioners in the field and also assists those seeking to understand the unique role of the tutoring and learning center and the faculty that develop and lead these services. The Academic Senate for California Community Colleges asserts that faculty, preferably full-time, tenure-track faculty, should oversee tutoring and learning centers. The tutoring and learning center is a crucial instructional space on campus that should be supervised and led by faculty.
