COURSE DESCRIPTION

Since the publication of Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning in 1998, school library media specialists have been under a mandate to "collaborate" with teachers.

But what does that collaboration look like?

In this course, you will discover what teacher-librarian collaboration is and whom it benefits. You will also learn ways to build the partnerships that will enhance learning.

Many library media specialists struggle to understand what is meant by collaboration. Once it is understood, how can it be implemented in their schools? Two levels of partnership have been identified - cooperation and coordination. These are considered to be the precursors of true collaboration.

Identify the 10 levels of connection between the teacher and the library media specialist and use this knowledge to evaluate your own library environment. Discuss with others where your program is and where you want it to be.

Includes sections on where to begin, some special considerations you might want to take into account, how to plan the collaborative unit, and how to find avenues and opportunities for collaboration.
