Effective
Instruction in the Library:
A Workshop for
Librarians Grounded in the
"Characteristics
of Effective Instruction"
Presenters: Dr. Jean Donham, Assoc. Professor of Library
Studies, UNI; Mary Cameron, School Library Program consultant, Iowa Dept. of Education
Teaching
in the library differs from classroom teaching in that Teacher Librarians are teaching different classes throughout the day,
week and year rather than a “class of their own.” Their teaching responsibilities call for application of
effective teaching practices as well as collaboration with classroom colleagues. This workshop will focus attention on that
teaching role, with special emphasis on inquiry-based learning and deep learning.
Goals:
Explore students’ (and teachers’) mental models of library research assignments
Define
deep learning in the context of library research
Design models of integration of information literacy,
P21 and Iowa Core curricula
Design lessons for explicit instruction in the library
This
workshop will be offered across the state at various locations and dates from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Plan to attend the one that
works for you. For more details, contact the Media Specialist at the respective AEA. (Note: 1 relicensure
credit is an option if you attend the entire workshop plus the Spring IASL Conference, April 11-12.)
