[aisle] Classes that are taught by the library department?

Mon May 11 10:12:16 CDT 2020

 I do digital citizenship with my middle schoolers (it's a state mandate at those grades; not sure about high school) and was directed to use the curriculum provided through Common Sense Media Common Sense Education. It's a good starting point and pretty easily adaptable. There are lessons there from kindergarten through 12th grade. I also do research skills and database skills like I'm sure most everybody else does. Hope this helps!

 Each year, the high school librarians in my district teach an online safety/digital citizenship class over 2-3 days to all freshmen. We teach this when the freshmen are in their mandatory Health class. The Health teachers schedule us in as best works with their schedule. We also teach a freshman library orientation to all freshman 1st and 2nd semesters, and do this during their English I class (focusing on searching for books and the general layout and what's available in the library, as well as copyright for the 1st semester, and then delving deeper in to database research 2nd semester). Again, the English teachers schedule us based on what's best for their classes, and usually pair our info with a research project. We do other drop in lessons throughout the year for research, reliable information, technology, copyright, etc., but the internet safety and library skills/research classes are the only ones that every single student receives at the same time.

I have in the past done a makerspace class P/F for grades. I will again be taking on a class in the fall grades 7/8 as they need an extra "special" and I am creating curriculum at this time. My basic thought (I will have 9 weeks per group I get) is to start with a research topic and go through the steps with them, and then move to passion project that requires research, making of a project in which way they wish, and a presentation and using a speaking rubric.

Hi all,

I teach my own curriculum of library classes at my middle school of around 950 students.

I use the iSails in combination with the teacher’s curriculum to develop lessons, and teach 38 classes a ½ hour library lesson over a 2 week period.

If you want to talk further about how this works, please let me know.

Hi AISLE,

The other day my colleagues and I were thinking and talking about the future of our library and I threw out the idea of creating a class that is within the library department. We were wondering if there are any schools out there that have done this. We're not asking if there are any librarians that teach classes but are there are any librarians that teach a class that is within the library, not under the English department, or in partnership with anybody else but actually done completely by the library. It's just an idea that we're kicking around. We're not even sure that it's possible but we wanted to find out if there is anyone out there that is doing this.

Thanks.
