We are truly honored and excited that our Head of School will be one of the keynote speakers at the NSLA conference this year. She will be talking about one of the most critical components of academic achievement…sharing tips, strategies and resources to guide the children in our schools. Her keynote will be covering the big picture of why Librarians Matter.
Presentation Summary:
It is being contended that while school librarians are often enthusiastic to collaborate with classroom teacher colleagues in areas such as literacy learning and related reading engagement, there is concern that a majority of the teaching community do not understand what school librarians have to offer in this capacity, and that the school librarians may be seen as an unaffordable luxury.
To this end, this presentation will document the roles of a school librarians to enable educators and school leadership to understand how school librarians can support students’ learning and academic performance.
