School Libraries in Action
With all the current discussion and passion around reading in schools and the use of school libraries - referencing Campaign for the Book, Michael Rosen's Just Read, it was with interest I discovered this fascinating video. It was made as part of their year-long Teacher Inquiry project, by Vancouver teacher-librarians and has been made available at Teacher-Librarians: Supporting 21st Century Learners. The professionally produced video features teacher-librarians working with students at Charles Dickens Elementary, Kerrisdale Elementary, Tecumseh Annex, and Vancouver Technical Secondary.
Executive produced by Moira Ekdahl, Vancouver School Board's Teacher-Librarian Consultant and its BCTLA Liaison Chair, the video powerfully demonstrates "school libraries in action" and I would urge everyone to take a look! Once you have watched the video, you can look at the other pages on the Vancouver teacher-librarian inquiry wiki site by using the Side Bar on the right-hand side of the page.
