Welcome to the fourth episode of our specialist and supporting teachers series.
We are continuing our journey with agency through the lens of the specialist teacher, in particular the librarian. All other specialist and supporting teachers should be able to find ways to modify the strategies over the two episodes to help their practice. It's about look at practices and our content through a different lens.
This episode is dedicated to Kerry Darby, a passionate librarian at the Lawrence School. I met Kerry a year ago and shared my vision of a learner-driven library that promotes agency. Without a clear vision of what it would look like, she volunteered to beta test the process. She is that librarian…one that has a growth mindset. Everytime I chat with Denise, she always mentions Kerry’s passion to redesign the library space to reflect more learner agency. My kind of people.
Before we move forward, I want to clarify that these ideas are my personal opinion and not necessarily of the IB. You need to confirm everything with your IB consultant and/or IB world school manager. The ideas I am about to share are based on my experiences and observations. Now let’s get to it!
