At our school, library is a special area class. The other special area classes are very demanding - including tests, projects, long-term assignments, etc. Library, however, is a different story. If there is a "lesson"| it is generally a worksheet, more often than not it is a word search. Now, when I was growing up, our school librarians were definitely teachers. They would read to us - picture books in younger grades and chapters from novels in older grades. In addition to that, we had lessons about how the library worked, how books are put together, how to do research, etc. I don't see this happening | |
in my school despite the fact that it is a separate class. I think the difference between library and the other special classes is lack of a grade. Everything else - PE, music, art, spanish, computer - is graded. Library is the only "class" that doesn't receive a grade. The kids don't take it or the librarian seriously. To be honest, I don't think we received a grade when I was in school, either, but I always took it seriously and so did the other kids.
