stereotype
Description of what a librarian should be. If not their experience, what is preventing it?
Include the librarian in training (we invited ourselves then met as a group as part of district training)Show our standards, we have aligned them with common core and they are close
Encourage an update of books, especially nonfictionNeed quality, high interest titlesHaving a library shelves full of books is not the same thing as having books that are useful
Request stats on the collection, like age of collection, Show our graphics that we created for dr. fowlerEncourage weeding to get rid of ugly, out-of-date resources
Don’t have a memorial for fictionLibrary still needs to be a hub for recreational reading
How to encourage your librarian to be active to help prepare for these literacy standardsLibrarians have the literacy and tech skills to support CC with lessonsFixed schedule can support standards in classroom with collaborationFlex can collaborate even more with just in time lessons
Encourage your teachers to collaborate with an expert (librarian)Ensure collaboration by providing time and accountability: substitutes to cover library, request agendas and meeting notes Library collaboration is not just for ELA
Ask librarian to lead pd like:Nonfiction literacyTechnologyCommon core and lit, etc
Ask librarians across the district to work together to offer PD like noteworthy novels, lexiles, literacy standards in content areas, etc
Send your librarian to conferences and be in state library association with caveat that they bring back and share info
