Pupil Induction

These events will be arranged in the period August through to October, however, some events run at other times.  The recommendation is that a school selects a date, as early as possible in the academic session, to enable pupils to get maximum benefit from SCHOLAR. 

The event will be arranged for a day and at a time which suits the school.

A pupil induction generally lasts for half a day, so it will take place in the morning or afternoon of the chosen day.  Over the years a variety of approaches to delivering these events have emerged and are described below.

At each event, regardless of format, a pupil induction will include:

  1. The structure of the SCHOLAR site and navigation
  2. Using materials effectively for revision
  3. The assessment and reporting system
  4. The discussion boards
  5. The revision planner
  6. The search facility.
