Final+ Reflection

Its just takes one then everyone will be hooked

It takes one person to let everyone know that there are benefits to classroom library collaboration. Then it takes two to make sure that those changes are implemented. Then it takes the entire school to keep the momentum going so that the school is filled with many classroom library collaboration which turn into school wide collaborations. For it to go from one to all there has to be a change in the way things are done. Everyone has to be open to new ideas. The opportunities when presented have to be substantial to the parties involved that they see how it will affect them. Then the benefits of student success have to be shown to everyone so that they realize if student get the individualized attention that they need they will be equipped with the right tools and they will become problem-solvers and critical thinkers that are ready to handle the challenges in the 21st century

It just takes one. To show you how being part of a collaborative environment will be beneficial to everyone. At the end of the Classroom -Library Collaboration Case Study I had talked about the benefits to students, teachers, and administrators. I realize that the benefit to librarians was not made clear to me. But I realize that we all win when we collaborate. The students gain valuable skills and tools, teachers realize that they do not have to work in isolation and they are able to accomplish more during their lessons, and administrators get a campus that focuses on student achievement through real-world connections. And as for the librarian the benefit is that everyone is on the same page. When everyone is invested in the same goals, using the same language, and being able to understand the same information then the school will reflect a collaborative environment where partnerships are evident.
