Instruction
Education at LNA is student centered and teacher directed. Courses are designed to be easily accessible and self paced. Students read and engage with the content and complete exercises, assignments, and quizzes on their own. LNA teachers serve as guides, monitoring student work and offering additional instruction, help, examples, and motivation.
Our teachers are highly qualified and receive ongoing professional development from Class.com’s Educational Services staff. Our teachers are:
