Autor Rebecca J. Morris
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iun 2023 – vârsta până la 17 ani
By working through these cases and the accompanying learning exercises, both pre-service and practicing school librarians will strengthen their readiness, expand their perspectives, and build confidence for solving problems and making informed, thoughtful decisions in their school libraries.In their preparation for school librarianship, library students learn foundational ideals and observe best practices that center and guide their work. However, discussions of aspirational versions of school librarianship often leave out sufficient practice in managing the many challenges and decisions school librarians face on the job. In this book, veteran educator Rebecca J. Morris uses stories of day-to-day librarianship to empower school librarians as they navigate and manage the complex interactions, decisions, and opportunities of their work.The book's alignment with the AASL/CAEP standards makes it helpful to school library educators planning curriculum, syllabi, and course activities. Perfect for reading or study groups, graduate classes, and professional development, these stories invite reflection and lively conversation.

Recenzii

This book will infuse pre-service and in-service training and instruction with realism and complexity. The fictionalized stories offer details and insights into what happens when human beings work to implement "best practices," standards, and core values in the very real and messy contexts of school libraries today. The addition of reflective questions and relevant resources further problematize the scenarios and offer rich opportunities for discussion.
In The School Librarian's Compass, Dr. Morris has provided just the right mix of authentic scenarios, probing questions, and resources for further exploration. This book will be useful to library science students and practicing school librarians alike as they delve more deeply into critical issues and topics in the field.
School librarians love well-crafted stories that engage the reader and promote thought and discussion. Rebecca Morris, with her wonderfully unique book of short stories, provides our profession with just that! In this must read title, she addresses a wide range of school library relevant topics through carefully-crafted scenarios and reflection questions. This book is the perfect read for a professional book study or to use with pre-service librarians
