The Harmony of Reading Teachers & Librarians for Differentiated Instruction: Webinar (01/24/17) 

Duets: The Harmony of Reading Teachers and Librarians

for Differentiated Instruction  

As literacy specialists, school librarians have always worn numerous hats, and now we are being called upon to sport yet another.  Numerous school librarians are now charged with participating in reading intervention.  Plus, with continually shrinking budgets, some school systems are eliminating literacy coaches and reading specialists. Where does that leave our students who need more intense reading intervention? Librarians to the rescue! Join this session to learn how to support Differentiated Instruction for increased literacy support. 

Learning Outcomes:

1. Attendees will be able to state the necessity of collaboration between school librarians and reading professionals to achieve Differentiated Instruction among multiple intelligences.  
2. Participants will be able to discuss ways in which school librarians, reading coaches, and teachers can partner together to provide Differentiated Instruction through appropriate planning and resource sharing. 
3. Reading professionals and school librarians will be able to collaborate to employ Differentiated Instruction across multiple intelligences using specific works of literature.
