About The Position

This recruitment will be used to fill a part-time (a maximum of 12-15 hours per week) Supplemental Instruction Leader position for the Academic Success Center at Oregon State University (OSU). Applicants to this posting will be contacted in the case of an opening on the SI team on an as needed basis. Supplemental Instruction (SI) employs leaders supporting BA 211, BA 213, BA 275, BI 20x, BI 22x, BI 23x, CH 12x, CH 23x, CH 33x, CS 162, ECON 201, ECON 202, MTH 111, MTH 112, MTH 241, MTH 251, MTH 252, MTH 254, PH 20X, and PH 21×. Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a highly successful academic support program and an integral part of the Academic Success Center. SI offers group study tables for students enrolled in historically challenging classes. SI study tables emphasize collaborative, student-led learning over direct instruction through the design of interactive activities developed to check and build on student understanding and confidence with course content. All study tables are led by SI Leaders who have succeeded in the course and completed pedagogy training in order to design their own activities using research-supported practices. Successful SI leaders are learning facilitators, not teachers. No experience in learning support is needed to apply. SI leaders hired from this applicant pool will undergo training prior to facilitating study tables. Continued employment is based on program funding; course support needs; and positive, professional performance. Successful candidates will be paid $15.15 per hour during training and $16.00 per hour after completing training.
