SI Elements: • Courses – historically difficultcourses • SI Leader – passed course with an ‘A’ – paid for attending all classes with current class – does not re-lecture – leads/facilitates discussion – shares study strategies – viewed as a peer • Sessions – ‘ two’ one hour sessions per wk – planned around students • Session – group participation • Participant – attended at least oneSI session – attendance is voluntary
Data Source Janice Levasseur – MSJC MVC Math & District SI Coordinator 676 students – enrolled • 346 SI Group (51% participation rate) • 330 Non-SI Group SP09 - 20* courses-(sessions) • Hist: 112 • Span: 101 • Psyc :101 • Nurs : 100 • Chem: 101, 102 • Phys: 202-(2) • Biol: 125,151 • Math: 50, 51-(2), 90-(3), 96-(2), 105, 212 *11 sessions conducted on MVC & 9 on SJC M50 /51= Pre-Algebra M90 = Elementary Algebra M96 Intermediate Algebra M105 = College Algebra M140 = Statistics
Benefits of SI … • increased course grades • decreased % of withdraws • increased success rates
SI - StatsSP’09 Half(51%) of the 346 students attended at least one SI session. 545-one hour sessions were conducted generating over 2,200 contact hours 51% participation Source: MSJC MVC Math Coordinator – Janice Levasseur / MSJC P&P Dept. XCJH 8.11.9
Successful completions in the SI Group(79%) far exceed the Non-SI (58%). The % of ‘Ws’ were significantly higher amongNon-SI Group(21%) relative to the SI Group (9%), ‘W’s and ‘F’s account for over 1/3 of non-SI grades.

Key Points: • Makes F students D students (M50,50) • Increases retention rate • 1 to 4 sessions attendees = “test prep” • Selection of courses are data based driven • Basic sources of SI growth: funding (not a replacement for tutoring) availability of SI leaders (trained & experienced) seasoned BSI coordinator (trained, experienced & dedicated champion)
