  • A MLLE is not just about space, it gives equal consideration to space and service. Confusion can happen when radical service redesign and delivery intersect with what we’ve known and how we've always operated. The MLLE movement has given traditional libraries a formidable challenge.
  • School libraries and librarians are part of this new education eco-system, preparing students for a vastly unpredictable and constantly changing world. MLLEs are where print and digital resources meet, as part of a smorgasbord of offerings curated to support, encourage, engage and make our students curious about their learning, and  foster and develop a childhood love of reading.

  • The myth that all students are carrying a library in their pocket and “we don’t need a library”, as BYOD becomes increasingly the norm, does nothing to support, prepare or scaffold students into a world that will expect them to know how to wisely navigate and contribute in a world digital-by-default.

    This is a magazine published by Megan Ingle and Sally Pewhairangi - two of my library heroes (and they're homegrown!). I'm saving this for the school holidays as there's lots in there to digest.

    We purchased The Recruit by Robert Muchamore. I read it and thought it was a good book. We purchased more of the Cherub series but now only have two in our Library. They became very violent and too graphic. What do other Primary Librarians do at your school with his books please?

  • how important it is to read to even very young children
  • “When we show them a video of a story, do we short circuit that process a little?” he asked. “Are we taking that job away from them? They’re not having to imagine the story; it’s just being fed to them.”

  • it is important that young children hear language, and that they need to hear it from people, not from screens.
  • serious disparities in how much language children hear
  • reading picture books with young children may mean that they hear more words, while at the same time, their brains practice creating the images associated with those words

  • their brains have the ability to change and grow through their experiences (neuroplasticity)
  • he human brain is like a muscle that can be trained through repetition and practice.
  • When students realize this, they develop a growth mindset: the belief that abilities can be developed through commitment and hard work
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • respond in casual ways
  • Model growth mindset so kids can see it in action
  • Allow students see that you are willing to learn and try new things, even when they are hard for you, and be honest when you try things in the classroom that are out of your comfort zone.
  • Let students see that learning new things, taking on challenges, and rebounding after making mistakes are all a natural part of life and help train your brain to grow stronger over time.

    We, too, can play our part and model a growth mindset.
