This session brings together teacher-librarians to explore issues relevant to their practice. Questions that will be explored include: How do school library professionals transform their libraries into Library Learning Commons? What human and digital resources can we access critically to enhance our teaching practices and thereby help our students learn? When do teacher-librarians have the time to deeply examine and understand some of the most recent and relevant pedagogy around our profession (e.g. Together for Learning [2010] and Leading Learning [2014])? This OTF Connects session will provide the time, the topics, and the teacher-librarians to help you find answers to these questions and more.
