In
collaboration with Oakton's Honors
Program and Learning
Center, S3 trains honors students who are
taking or have taken higher level science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics (STEM) courses* to become tutors. As an
honors project, an S3 participant will participate
in ten-hour training focusing on student learning styles,
instructional strategies for strengthening students' academic
performance, teaching/learning theories and techniques,
and active peer collaboration in processing course materials.
They will be assigned to observe a STEM class, lead a study
session for the class two hours per week, and communicate
with the instructor about course contents and issues students
raised during study sessions.

or EGL101/EGL102, may be eligible to join STEM Mentoring
Program. |
