The success of the SI program hinges on the faculty member s endorsement of the program. SI is also most successful when the faculty member meets with the SI leader periodically to share information about the class outcomes and objectives.
Many SI Leaders apply for the program with a desire to build a relationship with a faculty member.
Faculty members are not responsible for supervising or training SI leaders. The first week of classes the SI Leader will request to make a 10-minute presentation to the class. A five-minute video highlighting the benefits of SI and explaining the program is available to be shown at this time. During this time, the SI Leader will also ask the students to complete a brief survey to determine the best time to schedule sessions. Bookmarks will be distributed to students during the 3 rd week with the session times and locations.
