Teacher-librarians

The work of teacher-librarians today is a proven best practice for the development of information literacy skills. Teacher-librarians are able to align and integrate the instructional and curricular components of the K-12 learning environment with the development of technological skills. These educators work directly with the content areas bringing into play a logical and systematic model of processing information — the Big6 Skills Approach.
