Spring Clean Your Study Space: 8 Tips for Exam Success 🌸 With spring here and exams approaching, it’s the perfect time to organize your study space for success. A dedicated, tidy space can boost your productivity. Here are 8 tips to create the ideal study zone: 📚 1. Find a Space! Select a quiet area away from distractions like kitchens or living rooms. Avoid studying in your bedroom, as it can affect your sleep. If you must study there, take a break away from your bedroom before bed to reset. 🤓 2. Set Up a Permanent Study Spot Keep a designated space for your books, computer, and materials. This eliminates the need to move everything each time you study. 🪑 3. Use a Large Desk and Comfortable Chair Study at a desk, not the couch or bed. A large table gives you room for materials, and a comfortable chair helps you focus longer without discomfort. 📝 4. Spring Clean! Declutter and Organize A tidy, clean space helps you focus. Remove unnecessary items and organize your materials for easy access. ✍️ 5. Equip Yourself Stock up on pens, post-its, paper, bluetac and other revision tools. Having everything you need within reach helps you stay focused. 📆 6. Plan Your Time with a Calendar Use a calendar to map out revision and breaks. Work backwards from your exam dates to ensure all topics are covered. 🗺️ 7. Clear Wall Space and Use a Whiteboard Calm walls help you concentrate. A whiteboard can be used for diagrams, mind maps, and key topics, offering a fresh revision approach. 📱 8. Keep Your Phone Out of Reach Avoid distractions by charging your phone in another room. Studies show that having your phone nearby can significantly reduce focus and productivity. 🏆 Finally, keep your space tidy and add motivational photos or certificates to remind you why your hard work matters.

The Hidden Costs of #Caring: Why #YoungCarers Miss Out, But Still Gain Read the full blog post here: https://lnkd.in/e3aywJHG Being a #youngcarer is a hidden reality for many children and teenagers. While they dedicate themselves to supporting family members, often parents or siblings, with illnesses, disabilities, or mental health challenges, they often miss out on crucial experiences that shape their peers’ lives. #Extracurricular activities, like sports, clubs, and arts programs, become a luxury they simply can’t afford – in time, energy, or sometimes even financially. Imagine a teenager juggling schoolwork with cooking meals, administering medication, personal care, and emotional support for a loved one. Evenings and weekends, typically filled with friends and hobbies for most #youngpeople, are instead consumed by responsibilities. There’s little room left for football practice, drama club, or learning to play guitar. The cost isn’t just the missed fun; it’s the lost opportunity for #personalgrowth, skill development, and social connection. #GiveMeABreak #YoungCarersActionDay #carer #caring #unpaidcarers #YCAD

This week welcomes the latest Young Carer's Action Day from Carers Trust. I'm passionate about supporting this hidden cohort of young people. Yet often when I speak to schools and colleges across the UK they still don't know how many young carers they have! Young Carers miss out on many opportunities and that can impact their futures - however they have phenomenal skills that make them great employees. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eqWgiRk4

Blueprint for the Future: Skills, Careers and Collaboration! Thank you to The Foundation for Education Development and The Inspirational Learning Group for the opportunity to speak at this incredible event, held at Vicar's Hall, Windsor Castle. It's been a great opportunity to hear so many people inspired to bring innovation in how education develops emerging talent and skills as well as how industry can support the process and engage their future workforce. Two words from this experience which for me will support this evolution: 1. Consistency - a joined up approach and common language that is understood by young people, educationalists and employers. 2. Connectivity - using tech to fill the gaps where people can't do everything. Mainly around accessibility of opportunities and ultimately challenging the concept that your socioeconomic background determines your opportunity to succeed. 🌟Day 1: 🤔 Bridging the Skills Gap: Education v Employer Expectations 🧐 Inclusive Skills Development Great to hear from a range of speakers & panelists including Michelle Storer, Rita G., Melissa Farnham FCCT NPQH, Dan Heffernan, Laura Mason, Mel Richardson MBE (Nee Kose) and Nicola Drury 👏👏 🌟Day 2: 🤔 Employers & Educators – What are the barriers? 💡 Innovative approaches to skills development Lizzie Leek opened the session with a presentation on the amazing work being delivered by Three Spires Trust to evidence work ready / emerging skills, beyond just academic outcomes, to prepare young people for their future. It was a pleasure to follow with a presentation of globalbridge! Finally, a panel discussion with Rebecca Clarke, Sean McGovern and Lizzie Leek and myself discussing practical ways employers and education establishments can collaborate to ensure a bright future for generations to come. #innovation #futureready #careers #apprenticeships #highereducation #furthereducation Jo Malone, FRSA Carl Ward Emma Dickinson Ben Dyer Michael Dyer John Faulconbridge Sam Mason MCIPD Adam Smith Kim Taylor Vojtěch Tichavsky Rhys Howells Jason Gould Rochelle W.
