Collaborative Ideas For A School Library, Cynthia Mae Helms

Faculty Publications

"Librarians have always promoted knowledge access, a role that is even more significant today, with the amount of information bombarding students on a daily basis. Granting librarians information “leader-acy” positions and collaborative roles in teaching, learning, curriculum planning, and program ad-ministration fits well with the established guidelines by the Association of School Librarians, the Association for Educational Communications and Technology, and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.Students’ educational development will be enhanced when principals, teachers, and librarians collaborate in learning, teaching, and implementing critical-thinking skills."
