Description

Research in constructivist learning and student information seeking in complex and diverse information environments tells us that our resource centres should be drivers of teacher and student learning.

With new and refurbished facilities in many schools and a demonstrated need for us to raise expectations and improve the higher order thinking skills of students, this is a good time to focus on the role of the teacher librarian and the resource centre. Schools can invigorate their resource centre to be the hub of teaching and learning – owned by everyone in the school.
