Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an award winning* peer-led academic support program that helps students enrolled in certain historically challenging courses. 如果会话 are free, voluntary, and open to any student in the same course.
SI's goal is to aid all students in a class regardless of their knowledge or ability
水平. In the sessions, which meet on a regular schedule several times a week, students
work together under the guidance of their SI leader comparing notes, discussing readings
and concepts, working on handouts, and taking practice quizzes. 学生 who attend
the sessions gain a greater understanding of the course content, learn helpful strategies,
earn higher grades, and are more likely to successfully complete the course.
In 1981, the U.S. Department of Education recognized Supplemental Instruction as an
Exemplary Educational Program and pronounced valid the claim that the program improves
retention rates and student academic achievement. Data collected from colleges and
universities worldwide show that students who attend 如果会话 withdraw less often
from and earn higher grades in designated courses than do fellow students who do not
attend 如果会话. At Hartnell, over 1,000 students attend 如果会话 each year
and earn an average of ½ a letter grade higher and are 30% more likely to successfully
complete their courses than their classmates.

If SI is offered with your class(es), the SI leader(s) will introduce themselves during the first week of class. At that time, he or she will survey the class to determine the best time for the 如果会话.
Supplemental Instruction (SI) leaders are course-competent students, selected by the instructor, who help guide students to a greater understanding of course content by facilitating out-of-class sessions; and who work to further develop student learning and study skills. SI leaders attend course lectures, take notes, and read all assigned 材料. SI leaders build their communication skills, increase their subject knowledge and self-confidence, and acquire valuable work experience.
