The Washington Center supports the design, development, implementation, and assessment of learning community programs at two- and four-year colleges nationally through a variety of programs and initiatives.  

Learning Community Typology

The Learning Community Typology was developed in 2020 by the National Learning Communities Collaborative, a cohort of practitioners, researchers, and organizations, to provide a framework for different types of learning communities.

National Learning Community Program Directory

The National Learning Communities Collaborative (NLCC) developed a national resource directory for living-learning, coordinated studies, and linked-course learning community programs, hosted by the Washington Center.

Learning Community Resource Guide

The Washington Center produced and curated a collection of seminal learning community research, reports, and organizations for reference by learning community practitioners in this learning community library resource guide, hosted by the Daniel J. Evans Library at The Evergreen State College.

Learning Communities Research and Practice Journal

From 2013 through 2021, the Washington Center published Learning Communities and Research Practice (LCRP), an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that provided a forum for higher education faculty, staff, researchers, administrators, and students to share current research, effective practices, critical reflections, and resources related to learning communities in higher education.
