Some good things about a flexible schedule:
- students and teachers have access to the library and the librarian at the point of need;
- students and teachers can use the library as a more flexible space than merely a clearing house for circulating books;
- the librarian has the time and opportunity to teach library and research skills and students have the time in the library to learn about and use the resources in the library;
- librarians and teachers have time to collaborate, plan, and teach together, giving students the best opportunity for learning in the library;
- librarians can become more flexible in taking library services out of the library and take some lessons to the classroom (including those classrooms with teachers who do not bring their classes to the library); and
- since the library and the librarian are not tied up with classes all day, it increases library access for everyone.
The first 3 weeks will be scheduled classes with students learning the rules and procedures. The flex schedule will begin the 4th week of school. Please follow along on our new journey! I will be tweeting and blogging the highlights.
