What kinds of training/support do SI leaders receive?
The Supplemental Instruction Coordinator holds monthly training workshops which SI leaders are required to attend. These training workshops are a continuation of the PALs workshop held early in the semester. The workshops provide SI leaders and Learning Center tutors ongoing support in their work with their peers The focus of these workshops is always on how to improve the SI sessions and tutoring sessions. Topics range from learning new instructional strategies and adapting them to different learning styles to how best to plan an SI or tutoring session. In the past, leaders have planned sessions and given demonstrations of learning strategies they have used in their sessions. These workshops are held once a month on Friday from 1-3 PM.
