Teacher and Teacher-Librarians
as Co-constructors of Learning
This resource was created for a teacher-librarian course I have taken.
Teacher-librarians and teachers have the wonderful opportunity to collaborate to engage students in learning to take them beyond simple research and group work to a level of engagement that includes exploring, experimenting and collaborating. Two heads are often better than one when it comes to planning. Why go through it yourself when you can bounce ideas back and forth until you have a refined precious lesson or unit?
