Introduction 

The Iowa State University SI program is continually assessed through the following methods:

• Attendance and participation data
• Scheduling surveys
• End of the semester student evaluations
• Feedback from faculty
• SI Leader self-evaluations

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an internationally developed student learning program. The University of Missouri-Kansas City International Center for SI established the framework which guides our assessment at Iowa State University, and provides the following excellent resources for SI research:

• An Annotated Bibliography of completed research about SI.
• National SI Report
• Stone, M. E., and Jacobs, G. (2006). Supplemental instruction: New visions for empowering student learning (New Directions for Teaching and Learning, no 106). San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.
  ^{(Note: ISU faculty and staff can access this resource through Parks Library e-Journals.)}

SI methods are no secret. (Surprise!) The following represent resources we regularly reference for our staff training/development, research, and collaboration between student- and academic-affairs.
