Student - Supplemental Instruction Leader

The Supplemental Instruction program is looking to bring on additional SI leaders who will provide guidance to students through weekly structured study sessions. SI leaders will work with faculty and other leaders throughout the semester to provide support to historically difficult classes, collaborate with faculty, and attend on-going training throughout the semester.

Position Overview:

On top of leading weekly SI sessions, SI leaders are expected to complete observations of other SI leaders and provide constructive feedback for improvement. SI leaders are also expected to contribute to certain Academic Tutoring initiatives like collaborating with other leaders, attending and participating in mandatory training before and throughout the semester, and maintaining professional relationships with faculty. This position is extremely autonomous and requires a strong sense of direct and intrinsic motivation. If hired, you would be trusted to complete this work autonomously while following program policies and procedures. This position is a semester long commitment. Please ensure that you have serious intentions to complete the semester, as SILs have unique roles in each lecture and are not easily replaceable.

• Schedule determined as needed by instructors, Math Lab director, and employee.

Successful SI leaders will be able to:

• Motivate themselves to learn and practice SI techniques discussed in pre-semester and on-going trainings

• Plan and lead structured SI sessions that integrate study skills with course content

• Understand and adhere to policies and procedures set forth by coordinators and outlined in the UVU SI manual

• Exercise integrity and professionalism while given the autonomy to complete work independently
