By including resources in your space you build a positive learning environment.
Things to consider
The basic academic resources you need in your space are
• Age appropriate reading books
Look for a variety of genres, reading ability and languages
• Workbooks
Build up a reference section and try to cover the subjects your tutors will need help with
• Stationery
Through out the year your students will be looking for pens and pencils!
Outliers runs drives for these items throughout the year. You can join in a collect through local schools, churches, businesses and organisations.
