SI Leaders are high-performing students nominated by their professor to support a course by facilitating collaborative study sessions in the SI model. SI-trained facilitation promotes student collaboration as the means for high quality learning of the course material. SI Leaders do not re-lecture, tutor, nor provide answers during sessions; rather, they encourage students to engage with each other and course resources to better develop their knowledge of the course material. <\/p>\n
Professors and SI Leaders collaborate to create exclusive study content for sessions to guide students through the course. Alongside facilitating weekly SI Sessions, SI Leaders attend lectures and take notes on the course content so that they are fully integrated with their assigned course. <\/p>\n

We’re at a point where everything is fluid, and as long as I have material prepared (feel now my admin hour accounts for all the time I spend planning) we’re ready to rock and I can take a backseat. My students have made me feel really confident in the work I do to help– and although SI is NOT about teaching, it has inspired me to pursue that path. <\/em><\/p>\n – SI Leader for US History II, SP25<\/strong><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I love that this was a professional teaching and leadership experience that was available to me as a student. This is so helpful in boosting my resume and gaining valuable interpersonal and group facilitation skills, as well as supporting my own learning and knowledge retention for valuable information I need for my nursing program. This experience has allowed me to kill several birds with one stone! I’m so grateful to be a part of it.<\/em><\/p>\n – SI Leader for Pharmacology, SP25<\/strong><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n What is the hiring process to become an SI Leader?<\/a><\/p> How many unique courses can I support as an SI Leader?<\/a><\/p> New SI Leaders can support one course per semester.
