Modern Library Learning Environments - space and service | Services to Schools - 2 views

  • 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.

    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?

  • their brains have the ability to change and grow through their experiences (neuroplasticity)

  • 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.
