Aloha from Hawaii! Our center's primary focus is on one-to-one peer tutoring, but many students prefer interacting in groups, and I believe that group services are able to attract/support some students who wouldn't access individual tutoring. Accordingly, we also offer several programs that target groups: - *Language Conversation Groups:* small weekly groups that engage students through conversation practice, cultural enrichment and fun activities, led by a peer tutor or volunteer who's a native speaker of the language; - S*cience Success workshops:* interactive workshops (offered several times during one week of the semester) focusing on study skills for science, led by teams of peer tutors; - *Pre-exam review sessions:* led by a peer tutor for students in a particular instructor's course, usually a science or social science course. We've been offering these programs for some years, and they generally work well, but I'd like to know what other group-oriented, peer-delivered services are out there that we might try -- or ways to tweak the services we currently offer. Our campus offered Supplemental Instruction for a while, but the level of organization required would demand an additional professional (and funding) that we don't currently have, so SI isn't an option. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! -- beth )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Beth Kupper-Herr Professor Coordinator, Learning Resource Center Leeward Community College 96-045 Ala Ike Pearl City, HI 96782 e-mail: *[log in to unmask] <http:[log in to unmask]> *phone/voice mail: (808) 455-0413 LRC website: *http://www2.leeward.hawaii.edu/lrc <http://www2.leeward.hawaii.edu/lrc> *Check out our Quote of the Week! )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To access the LRNASST-L archives or User Guide, or to change your subscription options (including subscribe/unsubscribe), point your web browser to http://www.lists.ufl.edu/archives/lrnasst-l.html To contact the LRNASST-L owner, email [log in to unmask]
