  • Q: What do school librarians need to understand about the standards?
  • Librarians need to be the gurus of CCS. They need to know the CCS inside out.
  • These standards are interdisciplinary, and it is school librarians who can help teachers make connections among courses. It seems to me that the role of school librarians, more than ever, is one of leader, designer, and educator. They will need to insert themselves on curriculum committees, department meetings, grade level, and team meetings with the focus being how the library can connect all of the disciplines.

  • With the CCS, school librarians can have new power.
  • take the leadership role in their schools and districts and show that what they do is embedded in the CCS and that they can provide information, connections, and instruction to make the interdisciplinary aspects of learning meaningful for students
  • It's time for school librarians to stop whining about being left out and step up to the new plate and hit a homerun.
  • What should school librarians be doing to be a part of the conversation? A: School librarians have to know and understand CCS and not stay back and wait to be asked to help or participate. They have to be assertive and let teachers and administrators know what they can do to help teachers work through the standards. They need to make sure that they are seen as teachers and educators not just book purveyors.
  • Q: Does that mean that professional development for school librarians needs to emphasize collaboration and strategic planning for student learning? A: Yes, if you mean that school librarians have to speak the same language and have the same learning goals as classroom teachers. Everyone in the school must focus their energy on the achievement of the CCS.
  • More than ever school librarians have to work with teachers on their standards, not separate library standards.
  • Remember, the CCS embed the traditional library learning goals into the subject areas. They can brush-up on their collaboration strategies and review the classroom curricula. There are tools that school librarians can use to make connections.
  • I really believe these standards offer school librarians a golden opportunity to become integrated into the educational landscape of the school.

  • Instead of investing in scads of state-of-the-art computers and expensive commercially produced courseware, she says, the school district has made a remarkable investment in the high school’s human resources.
  • Luhtala and other members of the high school’s Information and Communication Technology team have woven Moodle, the free, open-source, online course management software, into the curriculum.
  • We have six years’ worth of analysis of annotated bibliographies, which we consider the hallmark of higher-order thinking— evaluation of reading, as opposed to regurgitation.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • there was an improvement on the annual Connecticut Academic Performance Test.”
  • “We work with a fair amount of data to measure student learning in information and communication technology. We also rely on emerging technology to communicate and collaborate with students and teachers.”
  • The library media center’s home page entices students, teachers and parents to click on a colorful lineup of icons familiar to everyone who enjoys connecting via social media: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Google, and VoiceThread, which the library has been using to promote book chats and reading for pleasure. Luhtala also regularly posts instructional videos on the Web for students and teachers.
  • “A librarian today is a facilitator and a leader for the teachers, for curricular learning, for interdisciplinary instruction, and is also a professional development person,” Luhtala says. “But we’re still school-based teachers. And it’s actually kind of beautiful. We like it just that way.”

    Storybirds are short, art-inspired stories that are curiously fun to make, share, and read. Teachers love them because they inspire their most reluctant writers and readers and reward their most adventurous. Kids adore them because they feel empowered by the tools and supported by the social feedback.

    "Emphasis on short, focused research projects. Not just a onetime research project once a year or once every couple of years but several short research projects where students gradually comprehend an area more and more deeply or several areas and gain knowledge about them through doing research on them. And research is at the core of these standards and that kind of short focused research is essential to college and career readiness just as is more extended research."

    With research at the core of these standards, the role of the Teacher-Librarian is more important than ever!
