This
article provides a very comprehensive outline of how librarians and teachers can
work together designing lessons that result in deeper levels of student
understanding. The authors, Stripling and Harada, note that designing lessons
backwards is the key. Goal setting should begin the planning phase, then assessment.
Next comes locating resources and technology that “the teacher and students
find exciting and relevant”. Also, included in this article is Stripling’s
Model of Inquiry. According to the authors, working with inquiry framework in
mind is necessary for determining which of the Common Core Standards the lesson
is focused. The authors also stress the importance of using formative as well
as summative assessments.
Thanks for posting this Dawn. I really liked the author's emphasis on collaboration to produce engaging lessons focused on skills of critical thinking and inquiry. I also thought their inclusion of both essential questions and reflection as integral to their planning process was well thought out.
