Get straight A’s in Managing Resources EffectivelyCA Technologies
The document discusses resource management in organizations. It explains that resource management involves efficiently deploying resources like employees, contractors, and suppliers when needed. It also describes the four As of resource management - Availability, Allocation, Assignment, and Actuals. Attendees of the session will learn how these four aspects relate to effectively managing resources and becoming a "Resource Management Rock Star."
The document discusses different types of energy resources including renewable and non-renewable resources. It defines resources as features of the environment that are used by people, including natural resources found in nature as well as human resources like labor. Non-renewable resources like fossil fuels are finite, while renewable resources like trees and fish can regenerate if used sustainably. The document provides information on different power sources and their advantages and disadvantages.
The document discusses managing resources as a student, including time management, study environment, and seeking help from others. It provides tips for prioritizing tasks, scheduling study times, observing your regular weekly habits, and staying flexible. The document also discusses why some students are reluctant to seek help and encourages seeking assistance from instructors and peers.

This document provides contact information for librarians and coordinators at a research library who can provide support in local history, archives, and oral history. It lists subject areas the library offers resources for, including local history, archives from the 1920s-1940s, and collaborative teaching. Contact details are provided for a research librarian, archivist, and oral history coordinator to answer any questions.
Libraries, learning, and leadership: a librarian perspectiveSenga White
Presentation to the Information LIteracy Spaces research team about the barriers and opportunities for librarian leadership in education in New Zealand
The cloak of invisibility: Mind-reading, magic & other librarian superpowersSenga White
Librarians know their “superpowers” and a collaborative mind-set is but one of them. However, they often feel like they’re wearing a cloak of invisibility when attempting to establish their role in supporting the curriculum in schools and initiating collaboration in less “traditional” areas, or outside the physical library environment. The need for such collaborative approaches in education has never been more important or urgent. They are foundational to effective pedagogy and enhance the way schools function in an increasingly networked world. (Core Education, 2018), but effective outcomes-based collaboration is not yet deeply established – so there are few friends or colleagues to learn from. (Munby & Fullan, 2016). This workshop will discuss the current New Zealand research into teacher/librarian collaboration, and explore the role of librarian leadership in this while providing examples of how and why it works.

Transforming Information Literacy Spaces Through CollaborationSenga White
This document discusses a research project exploring how collaboration between teachers and librarians can transform information literacy spaces to better support student learning. A survey of teachers and librarians found that while they see the value of information literacy, they have different perceptions of their roles. The research aims to strengthen partnerships between teachers and librarians by having them jointly plan lessons that make use of both classroom and library resources. By enabling greater access to information resources and developing students' information literacy skills, the researchers hope to improve student learning outcomes.

The Intersection Between Libraries and LearningSenga White
The document discusses the role of librarians and libraries in supporting learning and literacy. It outlines how librarians love to network, share information, find resources, and work with teachers and students. Librarians help develop students' information literacy and research skills through scaffolding research, curating resources, and teaching the research cycle. The document emphasizes the importance of collaboration between teachers and librarians, noting that partnerships can provide complementary expertise and support for student reading, research, and NCEA assessments.
Tertiary Transition - Bridging the Information Literacy GapSenga White
Presentation to FYSEC2017 (First Year Science Educators) on The Tertiary Prep Programme and the need for robust information literacy skills in the transition to academic learning
Information literacy skills for lifelong learningSenga White
The document discusses the Tertiary Prep Programme, which aims to support students' development of independent learning skills and critical thinking in order to better prepare them for academic study at a tertiary level by highlighting skills like managing self, research, information, and study. Research identified a gap between secondary and tertiary education in terms of literacy and learning environments. The programme provides flexible tutorial sessions to support students in taking responsibility for their own learning.
1. The document outlines the steps to take when researching options for ordering pizza for a family celebration.
2. It provides questions to consider, such as how many people, pizza types, delivery vs pickup, deals, and pizza quality. Methods to find answers are also listed, like websites, phone calls, ads.
3. More questions are then listed to help determine the best option, like price, toppings, and reputation. The document concludes by going through the ordering and eating process, then reflecting on the research steps used.

This document provides tips and strategies for effective exam preparation and reducing stress. It recommends making a study plan with breaks, organizing notes into revision sheets, practicing past exams, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with enough sleep, and being prepared for the exam day. Cramming without breaks is not an effective way to study. Following these guidelines can help students feel confident and do well on their exams.
The Tertiary Prep Programme PresentationSenga White
The document describes the Tertiary Prep Programme, which provides flexible tutorial sessions to support students' transition from secondary to tertiary education. It focuses on developing independent learning skills and critical thinking. The program covers five key areas: managing self, research, information, resources, and study. Each area is a separate session that teaches skills like time management, research strategies, note-taking, and exam preparation. The program was developed based on research finding gaps in students' literacy and independent learning abilities between secondary and tertiary education. It aims to better prepare students and increase communication between educational sectors.
