Segment 6 - Your School's Team Deserves a Star Player

Segment 6 -- 2:36

Highlights the importance of scheduling time during the school day for teachers and teacher librarians to collaborate on lesson planning.

Keith Curry Lance, former Director, Library Research Service: "School librarians have to be leaders in their schools. They can't be regarded as support staff people. They can't be sitting on the sidelines waiting for someone to ask them to do something. They have to be very proactive leaders."

Also featuring Kevin Carroll, Principal, Devinny Elementary; Larry Pohlit, Principal, Century Middle School; Micheal Brennan, Durango School District; JoAnn Hibbard, Durango School District; Amy Kendziorski, Principal of Escalante Middle School; Maggie Armstrong, Century Middle School; Judy Madsen, Principal, Silver Creek Elementary.

"Your School's Team Deserves a Star Player" was developed for Colorado school librarians to use to promote their school library programs. Principals and other administrators from across Colorado give examples of how librarians impact teaching and learning through the collaborative process on their campuses.
