Begin a school-wide movement toward collaborative instruction and ultimate student success! Challenge yourself and teachers to build learning environments that focus on realistic issues and themes. Build a strong case for the role of the library media specialist in implementing curriculum changes.
This instructional and informative guide provides the tools to implement an inquiry-based model into your school's research projects. Stressing the importance of the librarian-teacher partnership, the lessons and activities highlight those skills that have been found to be most important in teaching research to students—those that will transfer to real life situations, such as problem solving. The skills and attributes required for successful collaboration are overviewed, as well as the specific skills both the classroom teacher and library media specialist bring to each project. In each of three chapters, an elementary, middle school, and high school level project are each outlined in detail including the summary of the project, learner goals, the standards addressed, and teaching strategies and procedures. Each of these projects could easily be adapted. Readers looking to truly incorporate the skills of the media center into classroom projects will find this volume filled with solid supporting evidence and the means to collaborate with classroom teachers on meaningful projects. Highly Recommended. * Library Media Connection *
