SI leader

University West seeks students to lead Supplemental Instruction

Supplemental Instruction has proven to be a successful pedagogical method used at several educational institutions in Sweden and internationally to improve students’ study outcomes. Supplemental Instruction (SI) means in practice students gathering in small study groups outside regular schedule to work with course content. These SI sessions are voluntary and supplementary to the regular course instruction. The SI sessions are led by a trained SI Leader, a student who has successfully passed the course. Supplemental Instruction can be likened to collaborative learning and is equivalent to PASS, Peer Assisted Study Sessions and PAL, Peer Assisted Learning.

We are currently seeking 20-25 SI Leaders. Selection of applicants may occur. You will get more information about the SI method and take part in a group interview on campus during an afternoon session on May 26. Before hiring, the SI Leader will take part in a leadership training in the SI method during week 35-36 in August-September. The training sessions will be conducted in English, and will be digital or on campus.

Work tasks

After having completed the SI Leader education, the SI Leader should plan and organize SI sessions, invite students in class and on Canvas, keep contact with the course coordinator and participate in tutoring sessions with the SI supervisors and other SI Leaders.
