Total Library Usage = 4 classes/day
- In 4th Quarter, the library saw 159 classes (4/day) for instruction, research, book checkouts, or space-only usage in Q4. Instruction by the librarians accounted for approximately 23% of the usage (1 classes/day). The percentage of instruction decreased from the previous quarter. Reasons for this change include the pause of Advisory classes and Den Days. While the librarians did not engage in instruction during return periods, they provided supervision of the academy students. Another reason for the decrease might be a school-wide shift to preparing students for assessment in Q4, leaving less room for longer, inquiry-driven projects.
- Note, this chart does not include the drop-in students who come before school, after school, or during lunch.
Drop-In and Lunch Usage
