Teachers
TLs support the teachers of our district by collaborating and focusing our instruction to complement what is happening in the classroom. We work side-by-side with teachers to develop and implement engaging lessons that prepare students for the world outside of school; our focus is key literacies (reading and information/digital/media literacy), inquiry skills and promotion of school-wide reading culture. The TL provide teachers resources to enhance their curriculum, trainings to implement new technologies and continual support of independent reading. For additional information, take a look at the State of Iowa School Library Program Standards or the American Library Association school library standards.
