Structured Learning Assistance
Using Modularization in Instruction
SLA Components
In the Classroom
Faculty teach the core course the same way it is taught for non-SLA sections.
The SLA Leader models effective student behavior.
In the Workshop
The SLA Leader reinforces key course concepts, teaches study habits, and conducts test reviews.
MyMathLab provides individualized instruction on prerequisite course competencies

SLA Modularization
Prerequisite Competencies•Fractions & Decimals•Number & Measure•Proportional Reasoning•Signed Numbers & Algebraic Expressions•Linear Equations•Radicals & Roots
AssessmentIndividual deficiencies identified using Institutional developed pre-test
Instruction•Custom textbook•MyMathLab learning activities •Cooperative learning activities
AssessmentInstitutional developed post-test determines progress in competencies
If Required
Benefits of Modularization
• Reduced preparation time (faculty team developed modules for all sections).
• Reduced costs (workshops can be instructed by student workers).
• More productive use of student time:• Students only work on the tasks they need.• Students work on a task until mastery is achieved.
