Co-Teaching and Collaboration: Path to Excellence in the Learning Commons
We’ve always known that co-teaching has a positive impact on learning and now there is a simple measure to demonstrate effectiveness. When teacher librarians work collaboratively with teaching partners to co-design, co-teach and co-assess excellent learning experiences they move the school library from the fringes of education to the center of teaching and learning dynamics. Learn about this simple but powerfulmeasure to demonstrate the impact of co-teaching at any school. We will also enlarge upon the major approaches to create powerful learning experiences in rich information and technological environments as well as explore with participants the defining characteristics of a successful learning commons. This will be an interactive presentation, so be prepared to talk, share, and collaborate.
Presenters:
Carol Koechlin, Education Consultant and author
David Loertcher, Professor, School of Library and Information Science at San José State University and President of Hi Willow Research & Publishing
Session 5 – Wednesday, August 5, 2015 9:00-10:00
Supporting Writing across the Curriculum
Ohio’s Learning Standards stress the critical role that reading and writing play in the learning process regardless of the content area. This session will focus on using writing as a strategy to learn content across disciplines. Argument and explanatory writing require evidence gleaned from research. Library staff have a role to support this approach which not only increases literacy capabilities but also increases knowledge-building.
Presenter:
Marcia Barnhart, Education Consultant, vice president of the Ohio Association for Supervision and Curriculum (OASCD), curriculum liaison for the Ohio Teachers of English Language Arts (OCTELA) and ELA Consultant for the Educational Service Center of Lorain
Session 6 – Wednesday, August 5, 2015 10:15-11:15
Library Thing As a Visual Guide to Your Collection

Using “Library Thing,” we can create a virtual display of all of our book covers. By the end of the webinar you will be able to create a cover view of your collection, which can be displayed on your school library website.
Presenter:
Todd Duncan, Youth Services Supervisor

Presenter:

Don’t Become a Library Zombie–Use Your ILS to Survive the Genrefication
Have you ever wondered why so many librarians who consider genrefying their collections ultimately don’t? It’s because library genrefication can be a scary, overwhelming process. But have no fear! In this 30-minute presentation, Tracy Varner will show you how to streamline the process of organizing your books into genres, making them shelf-ready by taking advantage of your Integrated Library System’s collection customization tools. Example processes will focus on INFOhio’s SirsiDynix Symphony and Follett Destiny, but many of the strategies apply to other ILS’s. With this ammunition, you CAN and WILL survive genrefication!
Presenter:
Tracy Varner, INFOhio Coordinator and ICoach

Be the Change You Want to See
We live in a world that is constantly changing and connecting through creative and collaborative new technologies, media, and communications. This has changed the way we teach and learn. It has changed our spaces within libraries and schools. And it has changed the way we, as learners, makers and teachers, connect with each other and the world. As such, it is increasingly necessary to give our young people a voice through digital literacy. Shannon McClintock Miller will explore these changes in education and within the library and give participants a foundation to bring creative, collaborative, and new experiences and learning to their school community while connecting outside of the walls to the world. You will be inspired and motivated to Be The Change and become a connected, creative, and collaborative educator.
