THINK, CREATE, SHARE, GROW
Welcome Back!
It’s a new school year with big changes in Ogden School District’s libraries. Each school will be staffed by two library clerks who will open library doors to circulate books, foster a love of reading, and meet with students individually or as a class to promote books and library resources.
Seven District Teacher Librarians will be scheduled flexibly across the district to supervise the library clerks and to collaborate and co-teach with targeted teachers and students (K-12) on short and long-term research projects. They are eager to share project ideas, research skills, and resources that will be instrumental for project-based teaching and learning for the Utah Core Standards.
The District Library Program offers a new structure, new ideas, and new opportunities for the entire school community to work together to meet the needs of our 21st-century learners.
Thinking, Creating, Sharing, Growing
