SI is a peer-led, academic assistance program that can significantly improve performance for students who attend regularly. Students who attend 10 or more sessions throughout the semester have statistically been shown to earn half to a full letter grade higher than those students who do not attend.
The SI program at Texas A&M University started in 1992. The Texas A&M University SI program was named as the SI program of the year in 2004. We host the bi-annual regional conference on Supplemental Instruction. Some of our SI Leader training materials have been adopted by the International Center for Supplemental Instruction. The SI program has received its accreditation by International Center for Supplemental Instruction at the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2019.
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.
PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)
PROGRAM OUTCOMES: Each semester, we track student attendance and compare final course grades of students who frequently attend SI during the semester (10 or more sessions attended) with students in targeted courses who did not attend SI. On average students who attend frequently will earn a final course grade that is one-half to one full letter grade higher than students who do not attend SI sessions.
