| Description |
Libraries are stereotyped as quiet places where books are checked out, when libraries are actually learning commons where knowledge is actively created and shared. Most high school graduates lack the skills necessary to be successful in life. The American Association of School Librarians have identified six standards (inquire, include, collaborate, curate, explore, engage) that provide a framework for learning the skills necessary for college, career, and life. The purpose of this project was to conduct an individual case study to discover the process, features, and pedagogical outcomes of a collaboration between a teacher-librarian and a teacher using the American Association of School Librarian (AASL) Standards in combination with the state core content standards. The teacher-librarian met with a secondary English Language Arts (ELA) teacher, who explained that her students were struggling with finding relevant information. The teacher-librarian and ELA teacher conducted planning meetings to develop a strategy using the AASL standards and the content standards to support student learning. Planning meetings were audiotaped and reflective journal were written after each meeting. Grounded theory was used to analyze the data. The main themes that emerged in discovering the process include: collaborative lesson planning and pacing, classroom management and organization, sharing and adapting resources, and reflection and communicating ideas. The main features were managing physical aspects and focusing on standards and the pedagogical outcomes focused on insights gained. The main themes of implementation were communicating, adapting, and evaluating. The information gained during this study could be used to implement the process of collaboration on a larger scale, expanding into various other content areas and/or educational settings. |
