]]> 2022-03-10 13:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/danielfitzpatrick8/7eptkjs1m6eq4u8o/wish/2088296879 Knowledge of what we offer https://padlet.com/danielfitzpatrick8/7eptkjs1m6eq4u8o/wish/2088479240 Is the Learning Centre offering understood by all of the stakeholders.
Is the offering Comprehensive and meets the needs of the stakeholders.

Strongly believe that any student will do better with assistance of the Learning Centres, and if the Centres were proactively used by Staff, then students would improve at least a grade point and likely two. 
ie E-D/C,  Merit to Distinction.
Frankly I'm completely bewildered as why this is not part of the Teaching Quality programme. 

What is possible in a Library /Learning Centre, Including: How to organise, to plan, to research, to remember, to revise, and how successfully take exams. 

Everyone is pressured and completely focused on areas they are responsible and have control of. 
Specifically: Teachers covering their syllabus and getting students to achieve their grades and Mentors encouraging the students, there is no embedding of the Cross College role we offer. 

We need to have a positive positive engagement with each new year's cohort (and not an afterthought) be part of the student programme.  

This especially important with our Students having little experience of the the school library having worked from home for much of the last two years.
