Together We Can ACHIEVE Great Things!®

The school library is intended to serve the entire school community, including students, teachers, administrators, and parents. Below you will find examples of how the Teasdale Elementary School Library serves as a crucial member of the school. Collaborative lesson plans demonstrate how a co-taught lesson can benefit students and teachers. For further information on the importance of working the school librarian, please follow the links provided. A link is also provided to in-service presentations given by the library on Super3 and Big6, the research processes taught at our school and across the district.

=A Little Information about YOUR librarian. =

Well, if you are a student or parent you probably already know me as your librarian, Ms. Readwell. I love working with teachers and students. I believe that literacy, or the ability to understand and navigate information, is critical for every student. It is a privilege to focus my work on that goal every day. My favorite part of being a librarian is watching students discover that reading is a lot more than "work".

Outside of school, however, I am a mother, friend, sister, and continual student of life! When I get home, I love to go for a run in the park with my dog Oreo and read a good book (usually a mystery). If you are still curious to learn more about me, please explore this page. I have posted my resume, philosophy of school librarianship, and a presentation on my collaborative role as a librarian.

Resume: <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">

I believe the librarian is responsible for providing students access to information and knowledge to use it responsibility. I believe that the library provides opportunities for authentic and integrative learning. I believe librarians are teachers. I believe that collaboration makes teaching easier and more innovative. I believe that engaged students are engaged learners. I believe the school librarian is responsible for encouraging students to ask questions and seek out answers. I believe that together we can achieve great things®!

__Voki Introduction__: media type="custom" key="15643064" "Hi, my name is Trudy Readwell . Welcome to our library. Here we work together to achieve great things."

__Elevator Speech__: media type="custom" key="16506046" Hello Mr. Jackson, I'm so glad I ran into you today. Part of our library mission is to nurture and inspire life-long learners, and building and strengthening instructional partnerships is imperative in achieving this goal. I was hoping we could plan a lesson together that we could co-teach in the library. I've been looking at your third grade curriculum, and have some fun ideas on ways we can use the research process and inquiry learning to address several of this six week’s required standards in just a few lessons. In fact, we could cover objectives for math, science, and reading all in the same lesson while developing the students' questioning and critical thinking skills!

Just in case I haven’t convinced you yet, let me tell you about an article I read in //School Library Monthly//. This article explained how lesson goals are best achieved when teachers and librarians collaborate and share their knowledge, expertise, and ideas. As a perk, the article even discussed how this high student achievement brought a lot of positive attention from administrators. (Hobbs, 2011).

So, do you have some time to get together this week and discuss ideas for a few inquiry lessons we could co-teach? Afterall, when we work together we can achieve great things ®!
