Reading and the secondary school and college library
An important course on policies and practices for raising the profile and appeal of reading, libraries and library resources. The course is for library staff in the secondary sector and further education colleges, literacy coordinators and teachers.
Anne provides this training for national and regional bodies and for school library services.
She always adapts it to suit delegate and client needs. The course is backed up by an extensive set of handouts.
Expected learning outcomes:
- more insight into what motivates students to read and what puts them off
- more awareness of the implications of current educational strategies and research
- practical methods for encouraging reading enjoyment, broadening students’ reading horizons and overcoming reading reluctance
- extra strategies for promoting and exploiting the library and its resources
- greater knowledge of appropriate resources for encouraging reading
- ideas for building a stronger reading ethos and reading culture
What people say about this course
This was truly inspirational! I now know why it has been difficult to keep pace with my colleague, since she attended the course in February. I am now so full of ideas.
This course has given me many strategies to raise literacy across the school.
Well balanced between group discussion and whole group sessions. Useful facts and statistics
Very well presented - allowing individuals to contribute but maintaining pace of session.
This will contribute to our policy-making on literacy in the school.
Enabled me to see a wider perspective on promoting reading in a cross-curricular way.
An inspiring day. Excellent course leader. Realistic view of role of school librarian combined with idealism.
I have not felt quite so 'fired up' about my work in a while, but the sky's the limit now.
