Supplemental Instuction Jobs
When you serve as a听 Supplemental Instruction Leader 听(or SIL, for short) you benefit from several advantages. SIL鈥檚 become intimately familiar with the content of the courses they are covering, leading to many academic benefits. Plus, a job like SI looks great on resumes or graduate school applications. Not to mention, the skills and techniques you learn as a SIL will go on to serve you through the rest of your academic and professional careers. The proof is in the pudding 鈥� check out our听tutoring hall of fame.
What does an SIL do?
Working as an SI leader involves a fair degree of independent planning and performance of SI sessions, usually combined with tutoring hours, pre-semester training, and on-going CRLA and SI training. Supplemental Instruction leaders facilitate 3-4 collaborative, interactive peer study sessions per week. During these sessions, the SIL provides review of content as well as study skills through active and collaborative learning techniques. The SI leader also sits through the class lecture to refine their knowledge and prepare for the coming sessions in sync with the faculty! This highly interactive/collaborative workspace allows you to work with your peers as you help them through their coursework. 听听听听
