HI Francesca,
When I ran my SI Program and if an SI Leader would have a no show, they would only wait for a max of 15 min before leaving for the day. During that time, if they expected that they would get a no-show they were expected/suggested to come up with ways to better incentivize their students to attend. They would come up with ideas either by offering snack at their next session if allowed in your institution. They would collaborate with the instructor on ways to offer early access to practice exams or “SI Session Only” notes from the instructor.
Regular communication with the instructor is always key. Often times they would also promote the sessions in their classroom to help the SI Leader garner more attendance.

Hello S.I. partners,
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying Summer! My name is Francesca and I am the SI Program Director at San Jose State University. I just wrapped up my first semester as a director, certainly learning a lot! As we've begun to pull data we've noticed a fairly high percentage of No-Show sessions (SI leader gets 0 attendance) . My question is what duties or tasks, if any, do you have SI leaders do if they experience a no-show for a session? Additionally, does your institution have a threshold on the number of no-show a SI leader can have per semester/quarter? Any insight people would be willing to share is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Good Morning Francesca,
Our leaders are required to conduct 2-3 sessions per week as part of their contract.
Whether or not they have attendance, they still need to stay for the full session as they are getting paid for this time.
There are instances where students show up after 30 minutes, simply because that’s when they could get there, so we want to make sure our sessions are accessible during the advertised and scheduled times each week.
Should an SI Leader have a no-show, it is often reported that they use this time to either plan for their next session or simply work on their own course assignments.
At the conclusion of each semester, we evaluate each class based on various data including attendance. Should the attendance data and DFW rates for a particular class not warrant a further need for SI, then the case is closed, so to speak. Should the DFW rates for this particular course still warrant a need for SI, but attendance is consistently low, we evaluate more thoroughly to determine reasons to combat it.
Specifically, we look at survey results with regards to what the most desired SI times are versus when sessions are offered, we look at which sections in a course see the lowest attendance, as well as reviewing the individual SI Leader for any possible issues. We often see a correlation between higher attendance and the engagement of, and approachability and attitude of the SI Leader.
As Christian mentioned, working with the SI Leaders to collaborate more with the instructors to help boost attendance is important, and there are also incentivized options you can use in an attempt to boost attendance as well.
I hope this helps?
Best Regards,
|

Hi Francesca
We expect our SI Leaders to stay in the venue for at least 30 minutes. If we have no-shows for more than two weeks, we collaborate with the lecturer to do a quick survey. We ask for 5 minutes of lecture time to request students to fill out a short class survey to determine the reasons for non-attendance. Sometimes it can be scheduling clashes that are easy to fix immediately.
We ask (anonymous responses):
- Do you know that your module has SI?
- Do the session times suit you?
- If you are willing to share, please tell us why you are not attending SI.
Kind regards
