CTE @ Ocean Supplemental Instruction

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a grant-funded academic assistance program for challenging Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses. SI offers regularly scheduled collaborative study sessions through in-person, remote, and hybrid formats.

SI has Canvas courses to assist students enrolled in CTE programs by providing a digital learning environment, in addition to weekly sessions and office hours. Students will find schedules of sessions and office hours, as well as resources and announcements, in their SI Canvas course. (Links to the SI Canvas courses are provided in the supported class sections.)

What is an SI leader?

SI leaders are former students who have successfully taken the selected courses, but attend classes with students to review material and prepare weekly session plans.

  • SI leaders help students master course content, practice skills, and connect with peers
  • Improve test scores, course grades, and study strategies
  • Increase motivation and engagement
