  2. In Our Students’ Words . . . • “SI sessions were enlightening, engaging, interesting and helped me understand the many topics we covered.” ~ SI Student, Hist 112 • “SI sessions helped me understand material that I wasn’t clear on in lecture.” ~ SI Student, Math 110 • “SI better helped me understand the homework and the material taught in class. Every class should have SI.” ~ SI Student, Math 090

  3. Supplemental Instruction (SI) • proven comprehensive form of on-going student support • puts in to place the structure of a successful-student practice, group study • “Students who study together learn two and a half times as much in the same amount of time as students who study alone.” • Johnson, R. T. , & Johnson, D. W. (1986). Action research: Cooperative learning in the science classroom. Science and Children, 24, 31 – 32. See also: Johnson, D. , Maryuyama, G., Johnson, R., Nelson, D., & Skon, L. (1981). The effects of cooperative, competitive and individualistic goal structure on achievement: A meta-analysis.
