SI Leader Responsibilities

Week to week duties

Each week your SI Leader should be doing the following:

1. Attend every lecture for one section of a course. If your course is in person or an online synchronous class, you should expect to see your SI Leader attend the lecture of one section. If you are teaching multiple sections in one course, your SI Leader will only attend one of the section's lectures, however, students from all of the sections that are in sync will be invited to attend the SI sessions.  If you're teaching an online asynchronous course, then your SI is expected to spend 2 hours a week to review the lecture material in lieu of attending a lecture.  

2. Hold 3 hours of SI sessions each week. Once your SI Leader has determined when their sessions will be held, they are expected to hold them consistently each week throughout the semester. Any changes or cancellations should be communicated to you and your students from the SI Leader. The SI Leader has the choice of doing this as two 1.5hr sessions or three 1hr sessions. We strongly encourage the SI Leaders to hold their sessions before or after class to get the most engagement from students. 

3. Complete admin duties each week. We give the SI Leaders a paid time each week called "Admin Time" where they are supposed to review and prepare materials for their sessions as well as complete timesheets and respond to communication from the SI Team.

Before the first day of class:

SI Leader will contact you with a new work email address and student eID to be added to the roster (if our system does not already automatically add them to your Blackboard site). To have access to the Blackboard, Discussion Board, student email addresses, and to be added to any materials needed for your class.
