Synopsis

Drawing on compelling picture books that can be used to directly support the new AASL National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries, this ready-to-go toolkit of lessons, worksheets, anchor charts, assessments, and rubrics is specifically designed for school librarians and other educators. An invaluable timesaver, this resource provides

• 21 lessons that cover the six Shared Foundations, each following a formatted template that's easy to follow and incorporates the four Domains (Think, Create, Share, Grow);
• a picture book synopsis for each lesson, followed by that lesson s objective, essential question, materials, and duration;
• worksheets, anchor charts, and exit slips tailored for each picture book;
• Quick Tips that offer helpful ideas and suggestions to consider during the lesson; and
• an appendix that includes assessments and rubrics.

With this resource in hand, learners and educators alike will think, create, share, and grow as they work together to meet the new AASL Standards.

Review

"It is FANTASTIC! I love the way the lessons are framed with inquiry questions; how the anchor chart examples teach collaborative practices; and the use of AASL Best Apps, assessments, and rubrics. This one is a winner! I really think this could be used as a text for teaching a new librarian how to organize, deliver, and assess instruction. WOW! So glad I bought this for my elementary team!" --Mary Keeling, Supervisor, Library Media Services, Newport News Public Schools, VA

"Collaboration is more than an educational buzzword in this professional resource; it is the key ... This guide will help librarians looking for new ideas to establish collaborative relationships with classroom teachers on common objectives saving valuable planning time." --School Library Connection
