What do SI and Learning Centers have in common? How are they different?
The goal of SI and Learning Centers (LC) is the same—supporting student learning. Departments on campus (Nursing, Chemistry, and Foreign Languages and Literature) are starting their own tutoring centers. Although the peer tutors working in these centers do not attend class meetings, some of their responsibilities are similar. Because of this, LC tutors are hired and trained by the Center for Teaching and Learning. The training begins early in the semester with the PALs workshop and continues during monthly training workshops for both SI leaders and LC tutors. The workshops are held once a month on Friday from 1-3 PM.
