帝王会所

帝王会所鈥檚 Supplemental Instruction program, part of the Academic Achievement Center (AAC), has been accredited by the International Center for Supplemental Instruction (ICSI) located at University of Missouri 鈥� Kansas City.

The AAC has worked hard over the past two years to develop and document a Supplemental Instruction (SI) program that meets ICSI鈥檚 rigorous standards. Achieving certification means that the AAC has met ICSI鈥檚 high standards for program operation, SI leader training, faculty and student participation, and student success. These components are all an integral part of OHIO鈥檚 academic assistance efforts.

In the award letter, ICSI Executive Director Jessica Brooks said, 鈥淪I programs require attention to detail, dedicated time and resources, and a superb student and professional staff who are committed to student learning. 帝王会所 has demonstrated this in their accreditation application. The support your team provides your SI Leaders is fantastic.鈥�

OHIO鈥檚 Supplemental Instruction program provides important and impactful academic assistance for students. Each semester, the AAC provides supplemental instruction for 24 classes with a total enrollment of approximately 3,000 students. SI Leaders host SI sessions twice per week throughout the semester. 

鈥淪tudents who attend 10 or more SI sessions achieve one letter grade higher than students who never attend,鈥� said Director of Academic Assistance Elizabeth Fallon. 鈥淏eing awarded the ICSI accreditation demonstrates how effectively we are managing our program to provide academic support for students in large-enrollment, historically difficult classes.鈥�

John Akoeda, a graduate assistant who helps train and support SI leaders, said the leaders use a variety of collaborative learning strategies, which allow for interactions between students in the class. This peer-to-peer interaction motivates students to stay engaged with difficult class material.

The AAC is housed in University College but provides support to students in all colleges and at all 帝王会所 campuses. 

鈥淭he AAC does incredible work helping to support the academic goals of students,鈥� said University College Dean David Nguyen. 鈥淭his accreditation recognizes the great work of the AAC staff in anticipating and identifying the needs of students and then meeting those needs by preparing SI leaders to deliver content to peers and engaging with faculty about how to support learning retention through SI. I鈥檓 thrilled the SI team is receiving the recognition that it deserves.鈥�
