  • School librarians have the resources, training and knowledge to help us make those meaningful connections between the Common Core Standards and our students’ interests and lives.
  • Here’s why you need your school librarian now more than ever:
  • Your librarian can help you generate collaborative projects for your students that incorporate both information literacy and the Common Core Standards.

  • Your school librarian can help you develop lessons for your students that focus on both content objectives and technology objectives.
  • When students find a book that gets them excited, they are more likely to pick up another book.
  • Your school librarian can help match your students’ interests with the right books, and he or she can help you incorporate more books into your curriculum to help support student learning.

  • Today, an intellectual “hum” is the new “quiet.” Librarians function as instructors, coaches, teachers, and cheerleaders — while all around them students and teachers engage in multiple forms of learning. To spend a day in a contemporary school library is to witness what all the research says about quality education for the 21st century — educators and students engaged in research, collaboration, communication, problem solving, creativity, and more.

  • It makes sense for schools to increase their digital collection and virtual presence, but we don’t believe that schools benefit by dramatically downsizing the library’s space. School libraries will continue to need teaching spaces that support the increasing Makerspace activities. Librarians remain the best trained to teach information and research skills. The library is, at its core, a classroom that promotes independent learning, but even the most independent learners benefit from expert guidance as they seek new resources. The actual space needed will remain substantial. Depending on the age of the students and the school’s existing print collection, the arrangement of the space may change substantially to allow more class teaching areas with Wi-Fi and useful digital applications. Or it may stay about the same to house existing collections of perhaps picture books for the very young, academic books that may never be digitized but that support specific courses on a campus, and/or continuing strong print collections because the community prefers some materials in that format.

  • Does the library media center’s book and audio visual collection meet the needs of the curriculum?
    • Cindy Huskey
      Cindy Huskey on 02 Oct 13
       
      This first point is essential to meeting the standards and objectives that CCRS requires.
  • Is the library media center climate-controlled so that materials and equipment will not be damaged by high heat and humidity, and so that it can be used for activities during the summer?
    • Cindy Huskey
      Cindy Huskey on 02 Oct 13
       
      Major issue at BJHS
  • Are library media and information technology skills taught as part of content areas rather than in isolation? Are the information literacy skills of evaluating, processing and communicating information being taught as well as accessing skills?
    • Cindy Huskey

      These points are difficult to implement on a block schedule. Teachers have "no time" to sign-up for classes because they're trying to cram in all their objectives for their disciplines.

  • Does the SLMS have a formal means of communicating the goals and services of the program to the students, staff, administration, and community?

      Do we have something like this?

      What do we do if we have zero budget?
