Editat de Judi Moreillon
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 mai 2021 – vârsta până la 17 ani
This title offers pre-service, newly practicing, and seasoned school librarians opportunities for reflection as well as inspiring strategies for enacting four core values of the profession.The school library profession has been in "crisis" for more than a decade. Educational decision-makers have not been made aware of or sold on the core values of school librarianship and its value to students, classroom teachers, administrators, and the entire school community. Budgetary priorities often do not include school librarians, resulting in a lack of funding and the elimination of many positions, which can cause many school librarians to feel vulnerable and afraid. Guideposts are needed to offer today's school librarians a chance to connect or reconnect with their passion for literacy, learning, and serving that led them to the profession.Core Values in School Librarianship: Responding with Commitment and Courage provides preservice, newly practicing, and seasoned school librarians with opportunities for thoughtful reflection alongside inspiring strategies for gathering courage and enacting four core values of the profession. It is an important and visionary book that all school librarians should read as they develop in their role as leaders in their schools.

Recenzii

This title is likely most useful to preservice and early career librarians first establishing their goals and priorities; however, it could also be a valuable resource for more veteran librarians reconnecting with their dedication to the field.
Because of their candid explanations, readers of the book can think through similar situations in their own school libraries and consider how they would handle them.. Recommended.
