The Lighthouse Diary #65: Towards A Combined Expertise for Student Achievement

For the past two weeks, we have had the pleasure of collaborating with MYP subject teachers.

💙 We helped them identify technology and texts that meet learning objectives.

💚 We facilitated research skills sessions for MYP students in grades 7, 8, and 10.

💙 We selected and curated books for a small library for our grade 7 students to explore in the coming days.

💚 We recommended texts and sources for guided research in grade 10.

By collaboration with our MYP teachers, the library's role in learning is given importance. By working together to support student learning and development, teachers’ subject expertise is combined with the librarian’s knowledge of resources and research strategies. 

Together, we create a richer, more comprehensive educational experience. This partnership ensures that students not only meet their learning objectives but also build essential skills like critical thinking, information literacy, and a love for reading that will benefit them in all areas of life.
