Saskatchewan Education, 1984. Saskatchewan Education, 1983. Saskatchewan Education's Learning Resource Centre Policy Two of the most important goals of education in Saskatchewan are to meet the many and varied needs of individual learners, and to develop in students the information processing skills necessary to handle increasing amounts of information and expanding technology. Saskatchewan Education advocates resource-based instruction as a means of achieving both of these goals. Because the learning resource centre is the most effective way of providing materials and services necessary for resource-based learning, Saskatchewan Education affirms the importance of resource centre service.
Program is at the heart of resource centre service.
The school learning resource centre program should reflect the curricular needs, expectations and goals of the school and the school division. Saskatchewan Education makes the following recommendations about each of these components. An effective resource centre program requires both professional and support staff. A program integral to the curriculum should be under the direction of a teacher-librarian whose time is spent on professional tasks. The resource centre requires adequate facilities to fulfil its goals.
