Comment: You have to do a major rewrite or this will never be approved.*Read other articles to understand what should go in.*Read the notability criteria. You describe her, but you don't prove notability.*Any major awards? These matter as they prove peer recognition.*Remove fluff. Receiving $7000 impresses nobody.*Remove the quotes unless they are specifically about her. I noticed that you added many to Supplemental instruction which should similarly be removed.*Remove her pubs. It is a short list and hurts the case.*Get helpYou have to prove notability beyond reasonable doubt. You have a lot of testing to do. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:25, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Deanna C. Martin (born February 6, 1939, in Kansas City, Missouri) was the Director of the Center for Academic Development at the University of Missouri - Kansas City (UMKC) from 1984 to 2002.[1] The University of Missouri - Kansas City awarded Martin a PhD in Education in 1978. [2]
While working on her PhD, Martin designed the first Supplemental Instruction offering and applied it to the health sciences:
"Gary Widmar, Chief Student Affairs Officer, hired Deanna Martin, a then doctoral student in reading education, in 1972 to work on a $7,000 grant from the Greater Kansas City Association of Trusts and Foundation to solve the attrition problem among minority professional school students in medicine, pharmacy, and dentistry."[3]
Discussing the origins of SI, Chanté Evans, the Coordinator of Supplemental Instruction at UMKC in 2023, explained that Martin's work on SI followed
"the civil rights era and at a time where students of color were integrating into UMKC. Retention rates were declining, and there was a need for a new type of academic support program that would be low cost, yet effective. Rather than targeting at-risk students, supplemental instruction aids all students enrolled in difficult courses, or those with high DFW rates."[4]
In 1981, Martin's Supplemental Instruction model was accepted by the US Department of Education's National Diffusion Network (NDN) as an "Exemplary Program." The Kansas City Star reported that Martin's submission was
"the first of the nation's 250 such programs to receive national validation by the U.S. Department of Education ... As a result, [the Department of Education] will be distributing summaries of its program to colleges across the country." [5]
The Department of Education's endorsement gave Martin national attention [6] and promoted her program. In 1990, there were 150 colleges and universities that hosted SI programs. [7][8][9] But outside of the US, Martin encountered a problem with the name "Supplemental Instruction" in some countries and regions.
"Deanna Martin met with [the UK] national education labor representatives to clarify the role of the SI program and how it enabled students to be more prepared for the tutorial services and class lectures. Even after these informal negotiations were resolved to the satisfaction to all parties, the name of the program was still potentially confusing. The UK educators who were interested in SI developed an alternative name for the program, PALs (J. Wallace, personal communication, July 16, 2001). In Australia the term of choice by many who have implemented the SI program is Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)." [3]
Many schools across the world use the term "Peer-Assisted Study Sessions" for SI. [10] Martin's Center for Academic Development treated SI and PASS as one program and conducted training sessions for Certified Trainers (CTs).
"The CTs were invited by the UMKC staff to conduct SI Supervisor training workshops and provide consulting services to institutions in their geographic area. Each CT had already established a thriving SI program on their home campus and had institutional support to help other colleges to successfully implement SI. To date, a dozen faculty members or administrators from institutions in the U.S. and colleagues from Australia, Mexico, South Africa, Sweden, and the United Kingdom have been selected for both this honor and service."[3]
In the early 1990's Martin helped to establish a center for SI in South Africa at Port Elizabeth University, which is now Nelson Mandela University and used a variation on Supplemental Instruction, Video Supplemental Instruction (VSI). [11]
Early in the development of the VSI program, Deanna Martin, founder of both SI and VSI, spent a great deal of time nurturing relationships with administrators, faculty, and staff to get the VSI pilot off the ground. [12]
In the mid-90s, the University of Missouri funded the Center for Academic Development to deliver Supplemental Instruction to an all-Black Ethembeni Community College and (mostly) White Port Elizabeth University. Independent researchers involved in the effort concluded that experienced lecturers were preferred over VSI but that VSI may "have positive implications" in a post-apartheid South Africa that lacked experienced teaching staff for the majority-Black nation.
Although experienced lecturers might be still preferable to VSI, these results may have positive implications for distance learning in the absence of enough experienced lecturing or teaching staff, especially in rural areas. [13]
In 2001, the UMKC Alumni Association awarded Deanna C. Martin the Alumna of the Year award in Education.[14]
