The role of the Teacher Librarian

10th March, 2009 – Topic 2 – The role of Teacher Librarian in creating of an ILSC
ILSC – essential to produce lifelong learners who are skilled information users
James Henri’s concept – real learning as opposed to photocopy learning
Supports Kuhlthau’s idea of Guided Inquiry
TL needs to work closely with teachers in order to develop their skills and spread influence throughout school
Should be a close relationship between TL and Principal
Why the Principal should support the library? Because research proves successful library programs support student learning and improve student performance (Hartzell, G. (2002). Why should principals support school libraries? ERIC Digest, November(EDO-IR-2002-06). )
