** 2.2 Private Study ** Aim: To teach the students effective study habits, including time management, note taking and other information skills and to maintain a positive working atmosphere. The roll is to be marked at each period of private study. The folder for each roll should also contain the student profile obtained at the beginning of each year. Use this to follow up students' needs and time lines. As each student's subjects and teachers are known, it is helpful to follow up with class teachers, aspects of work needing to be done, due dates for CATs and Work Requirements etc. especially for those students having difficulty in learning to work independently. At times check the fulfilled newspaper and magazine requests so your group may be alerted to material waiting for them. Use the time planning sheet with students who continually fail to bring work to do. Persistent behaviour problems can be referred initially to the Curriculum Resources Coordinator and subsequently to the Year 12 Coordinators. The Private Study kit (which follows) has been developed to assist teacher-librarians to establish a mentoring relationship with students as well as to help students to understand what is expected of them.


 * NB ** : Other relevant notes may be found under **1.2 Supervision during class time**

 1. Know the requirements of the unit of work especially what is expected of the students. 2. Meet with the classroom teacher of the particular form to discuss individual needs. 3. Be clear about the information literacy skill to be taught. 4. Make necessary classroom bookings. 5. Jot down your own objectives for the class. Be clear about what you are teaching. Do not assume that every lesson will be the same or that every class will want the same information. Look up the class record book and check what lessons the group has already had. 6. Ask for feedback from the class teacher after giving the lesson. 7. Critically evaluate the whole unit once it is completed. Make the opportunity to have input into any changes. 8. For year 9 and 10 classes add the appropriate information to the class record books. It is important to keep up with new information about information literacy and the way students learn. **//Access//** (the journal of the ASLA) is one good source and other relevant references are added to the collection from time to time, eg. 028.7 SKI //Skills for information literacy//. Adelaide : Education Dept. of S. Aust., 1991 The more successful the existing cooperative units, the more chance there is to encourage others.
