Teacher Librarian Inquiry Topic

Interests

diversity

culturally responsive teaching and resources

How can culturally responsive teaching practices be effectively implemented, and what resources are available to support educators in creating an inclusive LLC?

innovative practices that integrate real world projects

What innovative practices can educators use to integrate real-world projects into the curriculum?

STEAM

How can the Teacher Librarian and the Library Learning Commons (LLC) work to integrate STEAM into programming?

Engaging staff and collaboration

How can a Teacher Librarian independently lead initiatives to engage staff and foster collaboration within the school community?

As a newer TL, I find this part to be my biggest challenge, and think that diving into resources that explore how to engage my broader school community will benefit all. Without engagement the other amazing things can't happen. I'd like to be able to further share the effectiveness of the LLC and support student's learning within the space.
I've done a lot of professional development around creating inclusive spaces with diverse and culturally responsive resources. So although the learning never ends within that topic, I know I will naturally bring that into this topic as well.

Encourage a culture of reading

What strategies can a TL use to engage reluctant readers and foster a school climate of a love of literacy?
