2. Stop Collaborate & Listen

3. Your LMS is back with a brand new invention...

4. Something that will grab our students & increase their achievement

5. - Collaboration -

6. Ok, so Collaboration isn't really a new idea but it is something we can do to help our students!

7. What is Collaboration? a partnership between you and the LMS partnering to plan, implement, and evaluate lessons that connect content and information skills an easy way to model the cooperation skills you want students to use in the classroom (Hylen, 2004, p.219) (Cooper & Bray, 2011, 50)

8. Why do We Need to Collaborate? Collaboration between a teacher & an LMS “makes a difference in student learning and progress,” especially in reading (Hylen, 2004, p. 219). There is strong evidence that “advanced scores on the state Reading and Language Arts tests are more likely, “ when librarians and classroom teachers have collaborative interactions (Lance, Rodney, & Schwarz, 2010).

9. “Jointly planned instruction is innovative.” “The combined ideas from instructors from two backgrou nds infuse newness and creativity into the instruction giving inspiration to those teaching and learning” (Montiel-Overall, 2006) TeacherLMS += New, Creative, Collaborative Partners

10. What will Collaboration Look Like? Team planning sessions with the LMS Sharing of upcoming unit topics Creation of lessons/units that connect classroom learning and library learning Communication throughout instruction

11. As the LMS, I will be able to Plan units with you Find resources for lessons Provide support with technology Teach essential reading skills Co-teach with you Work with you in any way I can to help encourage reading and reinforce classroom learning!

12. As the classroom teacher you will be able to Use library resources in more lessons & give students access to those resources, too Add an extra professional to your planning process and an extra set of hands during co-teaching lessons Extend the instruction from classroom to library to bridge content and library skills

13. When we collaborate, students are receiving the highest quality learning experience from two educators!

14. Currently we do this level of cooperation. We need to get to this level of cooperation! Without collaboration we are at a low level and not providing the highest quality learning experience. Our goal is to get to the highest level so that our students get the highest quality learning experience!

15. We need to Stop, Collaborate, & Listen

16. To Help Improve Our Students’ Achievement

17. Please sign up for a team collaborative planning session with the LMS today!
