Description:

Getting faculty to buy-in to Supplemental Instruction can be the difference between a successful program and an unsuccessful one. What attracts faculty to the SI program and what keeps faculty interested in retaining SI in their classrooms? Better yet, what turns a faculty member into an ally for the program? This webinar focuses on creating a program that encourages faculty involvement in an SI program: from learning about SI as a support program, to being a promoter for SI funding on campus.

Cost: $50 USD (also available bundled with ICSI BEYOND Webinar)

Community Catch-Ups

Community Catch-Ups are a great way for supervisors and coordinators of academic support programs, more specifically Supplemental Instruction programs, to come together on a monthly basis to discuss topics related to program preparation. You will have the chance to collaborate with other professionals in the field to gain ideas for improving your program(s) as well as be able to share your insights with others. The topics discussed will vary based on the time of year.

These FREE meetings are conducted by supervisors for supervisors and cover a number of topics geared to support the ongoing development of both new supervisors and our many veterans in the profession.

These sessions will not be recorded to protect the active learning space being cultivated by presenters and participants.

Once registered, participants will receive an e-mail containing the Zoom link for these sessions (the same link will provide access to each session). Participants will also receive a reminder email prior to each session.

Feeling stymied professionally while finding joy in the meaningful work of learning assistance is a common challenge among learning center professionals.

July 23	Janice Levasseur & Tammy Rowe, East Tennessee State University & Wilfrid Laurier University	Walking the Talk: SI Program Collaboration	One of the important elements of a successful SI program is developing SI Leaders who can competently collaborate with their SI peers and facilitate collaborative learning for students in sessions. While collaboration is an essential component of SI, so too is modeling. How well do we, as SI Supervisors, collaborate with our peers, institutionally, locally, nationally, or even internationally? Join us for a discussion of the many benefits of SI Supervisors working collaboratively as we “walk our talk” and connect to enrich our own professional development and our SI programs.

Through this workshop, we’ll chat about practical ways SI supervisors and SI leaders can break down silos, build lasting partnerships, and leave with tangible “next steps”.
