The Lehman SI Star model was developed from the UMKC SI Model, constructivist pedagogy, project management, facilitation, and community and family resiliency theories. The SI Star model was implemented in the Spring 2010 semester at Lehman College and has improved SI Session quality and consistency as well as contributed to the overall success of the program with students and faculty. During the workshop, we will demonstrate the SI Star Model and its use in structuring SI Leader activities and responsibilities.
