Start SI-PASS

Recruit and train a supervisor

Initiating a successful SI-PASS programme requires that the programme is led by a trained supervisor. Their tasks include budgeting for the SI-PASS programme and recruiting and monitoring new SI-PASS leaders, and ensuring they receive basic SI-PASS training and recurrent further training and supervision. 

Although certain of the above-mentioned functions can be delegated, the supervisor is responsible for ensuring that they are carried out, that the programme is closely connected to the course and that its quality is assured. 

All these functions are covered in detail during supervisor training. Being a supervisor requires at least a few hours of work every week (the scope depends on the number of SI-PASS leaders).

Budget

Beyond the supervisor’s time, budgeting for SI-PASS involve covering SI-PASS leaders’ fees as well as any premises-related costs and material costs. It is important that the budget has been well-formulated when the programme starts.

Choose a course

SI-PASS works best when implemented in courses perceived as challenging by students. This not only increases attendance but also maximises the programme’s effectiveness. When resources are limited, it is important to prioritise the courses where the effect can be maximised. Supervisor training also delves into selecting appropriate courses.
