Support Classroom Teachers

Support for teachers begins at the library. From elementary through high school, educators work together to give students the best education possible. But some schools may overlook the invaluable opportunity to ask their librarians how K-12 library resources can support their courses. Differentiated instruction? Libraries invented it. Support for diverse students? Reading help? The school library should be the first place to search for resources.

Teachers are becoming increasingly overwhelmed by the amount of time it takes to find trustworthy, high-quality content that not only fits into their curriculum but also supports the various needs of their students. Lack of time, support, and opportunities for collaboration lead to burnout and attrition. As librarians and media specialists, you understand the value of building your K-12 library resources and sharing how educators can use them effectively in the classroom.
