SL sessions are conducted by Supplemental Leaders who facilitate group study. - SL’s are students who have been selected by a faculty member. - Earned an A in the course area. - Demonstrate competence and model student behavior in academic subject or skill area. Supplemental Learning focuses on creating a consistent study schedule throughout the term. - Study sessions focus on current course material covered within the week. - Use of active learning and study skill strategies to master course content. - SL model adapted from UMKC program. Students who actively study earn ½ letter grade or higher in the course and do not require remedial assistance. Supplemental Learning allows a student to identify the following: - learning styles - academic goals for the course - strengths/areas of improvement as a student
