SI Supervisor Training

What is Certified Canadian SI Supervisor Training? 

Certified Canadian SI Supervisor Training offers participants a first-hand experience of the Supplemental Instruction model and an orientation to working in SI in Canada. Trainers will demonstrate core techniques to facilitate study groups so participants can develop a shared understanding of these skills and practice using them for online or face to face SI. Come prepared to participate, work in groups and ask questions; leave with the skills and resources to develop, supervise, and manage an SI program at your campus.

This hybrid training includes:
