Supplemental Instruction (SI) Peer Facilitator (Gainesville)- Institutional Student Worker

Supplemental Instruction Peer FacilitatorThe University of North Georgia is accepting applications for a Supplemental Instruction (SI) Peer Facilitator on the Gainesville Campus. Supplemental Instruction (SI) aims to serve the UNG community by going beyond learning to studying intelligently and succeeding academically. We believe in offering an equal opportunity for students to learn, grow, and define academic success. We accomplish this by providing a fun, inclusive, and collaborative environment through peer-assisted study sessions for all students in the course. Students who attend SI sessions are guided by the SI facilitator to think critically, while on average earning half a letter grade higher than non-participants.SI Facilitators are students responsible for: leading SI sessions two times per week for the assigned course using collaborative activities and active learning strategies; holding office hours; attending lectures with students to relearn course content, take notes, promote SI, and role model good student behavior; planning for SI sessions, including: creating an agenda and preparing worksheets or other resources; and staff development, including: orientation training, bi-weekly meetings, observations of peer sessions, and meetings with supervisor and mentors. Facilitators gain leadership skills and training on the international SI model.
