10. “Visibleteaching & learning
occurs when there is deliberate
practice aimed at attaining
mastery of the goal, when there is
feedback given and sought, and
when there are active,
passionate, & engaging people
participating in the act of
learning.” John Hattie

16. We need to stop thinking of
the library as a
grocery store
– a place to “get stuff”
and start thinking about it
as a kitchen–
a place to
“make stuff.”

We aim to make the invisible visible
Easy to become despondent at the ‘big picture’ – but we’re going to focus on what WE can do
We need to tell our stories
Identify services you already provide
Collect (curate) ideas you come across that inspires you
Don’t try to do everything all at once – but you don’t want to lose your ideas either
Feedback from teachers
And how effective it is for students
NZC has librarian skills and ideals implicit throughout, but we need to make them explicit
Find your flockmates in the school, local librarians, school listserve
Conferences & other PD opportunities
Online and global
Don’t underestimate your own ability and knowledge
Principals, senior leaders, teachers, students, board of trustees, parents
Email contact groups
Targeted sharing of ideas, articles, website, resources
Be seen outside the library – staffroom, social events
Staff PD
HOFs & HODs about collection development
“Can I help …?”
“Would you like me to ….?
“Can you help me by letting me try (with class) …..”
“May I observe student (IL) (notes, searching etc) skills and then give you feedback?”
“Did you know about …..”
SLT
BOT report – present it
Link any reports to school vision, curriculum, strategic goals
Attend staff meetings, curriculum meetings
Get on committees such as ICT
Help with clubs, sports etc – be visible
Make sure they know what you do
Identify a problem then suggest a solution
Identify area to work on then suggest a strategy
Then provide evidence and feedback
Talk to them! And then write it down!
Survey them
Observe them in their natural habitat!
Conversations – wherever you can
Targeted PD for teachers
Tell them how you can help them with classes
Attend staff meetings and staff briefings
