General Overview<\/h2><\/div>
<\/p>\n

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a nationally recognized program that was developed at the University of Missouri at Kansas City (UMKC) to help students succeed in traditionally difficult gateway courses. SI at Taft College uses the UMKC SI model which is focused on the facilitated study session. However, SI at Taft College has been modified to meet the needs of TC\u2019s student population.
\nSupplemental Instruction provides academic support through facilitated study sessions. SIs lead weekly sessions where students practice and discuss course content and develop study skills with their peers.In SI sessions, students are active participants. They compare notes, discuss important concepts, develop strategies for studying, and test themselves before their professor does.
\nThe SI is responsible for planning activities that will allow the group to collaborate on the course material and to learn useful study skills. The information students learn in daily lectures is continually reinforced in SI sessions. SI helps students learn the material in a way that will stay with them long after their course is over.
\nSI teaches cooperative learning techniques that will help students in later courses that do not have SIs.
\nSI provides a safe, comfortable learning environment. Students are encouraged to talk about their courses and ask questions that they may not feel comfortable asking in class.
\nThe SI\u2019s role in the classroom is to advertise SI sessions. Advertising can take many forms. Making announcements about the time and place that sessions will occur is one form of marketing. Lending pens and pencils, carrying a stapler, giving discrete reminders about what is due, and helping answer questions or work on problems are far more effective ways to market SI.
\nThe best form of marketing for SI sessions is for the SI to be helpful to students during class. The SIs also model successful student behavior by going to all scheduled class meetings on time. The SIs go to class prepared and take notes. SIs can assist in classroom demonstrations and discussions at the instructor\u2019s discretion.<\/p>\n
