Supplemental Instruction

Have you ever thought about teaching economics? Would you like to improve your own understanding of basic economic theory? Did you earn an A in ECO 105 or ECO 106? If so, working for DePaul's Supplemental Instruction program might be for you.

What is Supplemental Instruction (SI)?

• SI is a student-support program that targets historically difficult courses
• Students in SI courses have the opportunity to attend weekly review sessions to improve their understanding of course material
• These small group sessions are facilitated by SI leaders, trained student mentors who focus on course content and study skills

What is an SI Leader?

• A student who has previously taken one of the courses SI supports
• Someone who excels in and is excited about the subject he or she is involved with
• A student who wants to help his or her peers succeed

What major responsibilities does an SI Leader undertake?

• Attending the class lectures each week
• Facilitating three one-hour review sessions each week outside of class
• Planning for weekly sessions and communicating with students outside of class
• Attending a training session and observation reviews
• About nine hours of commitment per week for which SI leaders are paid a stipend
