Linking English/Language Arts Standards and Library Media Center Reading Programs, p.72

P. 72 Linking English document - Linking English/Language Arts Standards and Library Media Center Reading Programs

Many states have set out academic standards for the teaching of the language arts. These standards often do not mention the word “library.” One presumes a strong library media program if the standards are to be implemented effectively. Together, library media specialists and teachers develop plans to strengthen the language arts program at all ability and grade levels.

Idea: Hold a Language Arts Summit

Who: Principal, reading specialists, teachers, library media specialists, community representatives, and other guests as invited.

Engaging Problem: How can the library media center and the language arts program complement each other to create a school-wide community of readers?

Worksheet:

ITask: Create a collaborative and integrated language arts/library media center program plan.

IResources: What do we already have? What do we need? How will we get what we need?
