LOERTSCHER, D. V., & KOECHLIN, C. (2015). Coteaching and the Learning Commons. Teacher Librarian, 43(2), 12-16.

Loertscher and Koechlin, focus on the learning commons and how teachers librarians and other specialized staff can come together in collaboration to increase student learning and understanding. The learning commons becomes a place of creation. With makerspaces to create, flexible seating arrangements and digital resources, the learning common becomes a third component in the co-teaching process. A process that is student driven where knowledge is learned and created.

This article reiterated what we have been learning in Dr. Loertscher's class. However, it breaks it down in easy to manage pieces. It is a great article to read when considering changing your library to a learning common, expanding your comfort zone by co-teaching or just getting a better handle on 250. All is not lost, it just needs to be transformed.
