Instruction and Learning Environment: Collaboration and Instruction
School librarian plans and collaborates with “classroom” teachers from many disciplines and
grade levels and is involved in the assessment of collaboratively planned lessons.
Share new resources and tech tools available to teachers. Also provide examples on how they fit
into content standards, curriculum and assessment via email, PLG time, and tech classes.
Increase the number of collaborate units between teachers and librarian by 10%.

Feedback from teachers
Keeping a document to record resources and tools hared with teachers each month (Google
Spreadsheet) Form for collaboration
I will continue to work with content areas teachers in order to 1) identify the topics which they
cover in their classes, and 2) locate materials, either new or borrowed, that can support their
students’ needs.
I will use also the standards for Information Literacy and my growing knowledge of technology
tools to help teachers incorporate these learning tools into their classrooms. As teachers are
always short on time, it makes it difficult for them to learn this information on their own. As
such, I can teach their classes how to use the tools in order to demonstrate their learning to their
teacher. In this manner, I am instructing the students directly in my knowledge area which may
not be familiar to their classroom teacher.

SMART Goals:
 Specific  Measurable
The most obvious measure of this goal is the increased collaboration between the teacher
librarian and staff. Another indicator will be the use of web 2.0 tools, library resources, and
technology in instructional and assessment methods. And, the ultimate measure will be an
increase in student achievement.
