Abstract: Supplemental instruction (SI) has been in existence for nearly five decades and was initially introduced as a practice for "high-risk courses." Little attention has been paid to the applicability of SI to developmental education contexts; however, the rapid expansion of developmental education reforms, including acceleration and integration, increases the need for us to consider the utility of this practice in a wider range of college settings. In this article, we examine the alignment between SI and adult learning and development theories--the theoretical foundations of developmental education. We conclude with practical examples of how SI has been successfully applied to developmental English contexts at one community college. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
