What is the job of a teacher-librarian?
Ms. Dias partners with classroom teachers to plan, teach, and
evaluate student learning across the curriculum. She promotes a
variety of learning resources to support classroom programs and
individual learning needs/styles. Students use both texts and
technology to define needs and to select, analyze and evaluate
information. By reflecting on their learning, students are
encouraged to become critical thinkers. Oh yes, and teacher-
librarians do promote great books and reading programs!
How many books can my child take out each week?
In most cases, students are allowed to take out one book per
week. In this way, students and parents can easily track books,
reducing the risk of loss.
When are exceptions made?
If students are conducting research, more than one book may be
required. If a student is a particularly fast and accurate
reader, he/she may take out a second book. If a student is
almost finished the first book and won't be at the library for
another week, a second book is permitted. If a student has
not returned a book and a holiday is pending, he/she may be
permitted to take out a book. In short, teacher discretion often
dictates whether a student is permitted to take out more than one
book.
