Moving Ahead and Changing Spaces
A New Approach in our Media Center
Common Core and Your School Library
Reading is at the core of the CCS. Who better than librarians to collaborate with teachers to identify literature and text for students to read in the content areas? For example, the math teacher is teaching pie charts. The librarian could identify several paragraphs that could be made into pie charts. Given a pie chart, the students would read the paragraphs and identify the one that describes the given pie chart-reading connected to math.
