Teaching and skills Tell me what skills of yours are being utilised well Tell me what skills of yours are not being utilised and could be. I.E; - are their things you can teach and would like to that you are not doing at the moment

Resources/Communication Are there any resources we lack and that we could do with that are not of huge expense - (i.e. computers) that would help make things easier? Is there anything that we could use (across the board) that would make communication more efficient?

Finally Please email me with the data I have requested. Contact me personally if you have any reason to. Remember that the key focus should be on out turn results for the end of the year and success and retention of students going into the second year.
