Provide leadership and a unified voice to advance the profession of postsecondary learning assistance and developmental education.
Foster mutual support among national and international organizations dedicated to postsecondary learning assistance or developmental education.
Supplemental Instruction (SI), created at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, is a non-remedial approach to learning that supports students toward academic success by integrating “what to learn” with “how to learn.” SI consists of regularly scheduled; voluntary, out-of-class group study sessions driven by students’ needs. Sessions are facilitated by trained peer leaders who utilize collaborative activities to ensure peer-to-peer interaction in small groups. SI is implemented in high-risk courses in consultation with academic staff and is supported and evaluated by a trained supervisor.
ICSI has trained more than 1,500 representatives from 30 countries to start SI programs on their campuses.
ICSI will be able to enjoy CLADEA benefits, which include booth space and advertisement in digital and print programs at member organizations’ conferences, sharing ICSI conference and training information with other organizations’ members, nominating individuals for the prestigious CLADEA Fellows designation, appointment of an ICSI representative on the CLADEA board (with a conference fee waiver provided for every member organization’s conference), a guaranteed conference session at every member organization’s conference, access to publications including RiLADE and the CLADEA Update, and eligibility for a $1,500 conference scholarship for new practitioners.
The mission of ICSI is a perfect fit for CLADEA, and we welcome them to our council!
