New Teacher Orientation

8/21/2019

0 Comments

 
I'm going on my third year in my current district, and asked if I could present at the new teacher orientation. I offered "Resources for Teaching and Learning" as my topic. Using AASL Standard's foundations as my guide, I gave an overview of what it is that teacher-librarians do and what we have to offer. I began with Collaborate and the slogan "Your librarian is your new best friend!" and ended with Curate to move on to the main topic for the session. I also handed out AASL's One Pager for Educators.

It went pretty well, but as always is my issue, there's never enough time! Thinking because I'm a big picture thinker, I always feel the need to share the BIG picture. The problem is that then there's never enough time for the focus. In retrospect, I should have chosen one or the other.  I also wish I had created a board in Dotstorming, or had new teachers physically vote with  garage sale price stickers, to choose which foundations they felt were most valuable, followed by discussion defending their choices. Thinking their participation would work well for a quick review/formative assessment strategy.
