Designing Instruction for School Library Media Centers EDLI274 Designing Instruction for School Library Media Centers

Introduction Activities Draw from our card deck and create the best poker hand group you can make in three minutes. Create groups based on astrological signs: compare notes about personality traits and report findings back to group. Interview the person sitting next to you, get to know each other, and report back to the group your findings. Each student takes two minutes to share with the group a title of a book that reflects something about themselves.

Instructional Leaders Information Power defines the school library media specialist as information specialist, teacher, and instructional consultant-giving equal importance to each role…An instructional consultant must have the knowledge, expertise, and experience of a teacher combined with knowledge of the total library media collection and other resources outside the center that relate to and enhance the curriculum. Library media specialists "should bring their knowledge of research, teaching methodology, curriculum development, learning theory, and instructional development to the process of teaching."(28) Thus, the library media specialist must be a master teacher.
