Page 2 of the SI Session Plan
You do NOT need to fillout the After-Sessionsection anymore.
This is semi-new!Marley and I will be checking to seeif you have a current Session Plan outand available for us to look at when weobserve your SI sessions throughoutthe semester.
So, you have a legitimate reason to cancel or miss class; what is the procedure to follow to cover your bases?1. AS SOON AS YOU KNOW YOU MUST CANCEL: Compose an e-mail explaining your situation. Include these 3 individuals on your e-mail:
a. Mrs. Pierceb. Megan Wynnc. Your SI Instructor
2. Hit send, and once we’ve received it, we will let you know we got it.
Make sure your students also know you’ll be absent: either send message through REMIND or ask your instructor to e-mail the whole classYou must follow this procedure every time you are going to miss fulfilling any of your SI Leader duties.
NEW SAMPLE E-mail to SendWhen You Must Miss an SI Session and/or SI Class
Only One Student Shows: you are expected to stay entire time; you may treat your session as a one-on-one tutoring session.
Participants Arrive Late: Have every participant log in/out of AccuSQL regardless of arrival time.
Students just had test, so there’s no content tocover: Promote the session as a focus on criticalstudy skills, like time management or Habits of Mind.
Leader Preparedness: Have material prepared for each session to have students
engaged for full 50 min. Do not wing it (and then fill out a session plan afterwards) Participants may leave on their own, but you may not
dismiss them early.

Ways to help yourself remember: 1) Write deadlines on a calendar in a place where you will check it every day. 2) Set an
alarm in your smartphone. 3) Pretend SI is a class, and these are your assignments. 4) Make it a habit. 5) Connect
turning these papers in with another activity that you do regularly, so that when you take care of one, you automatically
take care of the other. 6) Remind yourself that these are duties of a paid job!!
Everyone should have accepted the invitation to join our current Canvas Group. All paperwork will be submitted using Canvas◦ As a photo taken with your cellphone◦ As a pdf produced by free scanner app, Tiny
Scanner

Use the SI Leader Checklist along with the 2018-19Academic Calendar that is available on the BC website Consider setting up both visual AND audio alarms &

Please read and understand these policies prior to initialing & signing the contract. These policies are not inclusive of all expectations and behaviors. Whenever specifics are not detailed, use common sense!
SI Leader Contract
You CANNOT work if you drop below 6 units! As a matter of fact, I’m forced to have you
stop working immediately as soon as I am notified by Office of Student Employment.
Of course, this is a bad situation for you, but what kind of impact do you think it has on your SI students and instructor?
We have experienced painful consequences from past SI Leaders who have been irresponsible about maintaining the proper number of units.
