Becoming a Powerhouse Librarian How to Get Things Done Right the First Time by Jamie M Gray

Librarians and teachers working together and co-teaching is a great way to help students learn and get different perspectives. In the book Becoming a Powerhouse Librarian it talks about life long learning and cultivating the mindset of being curious. Keeping an open mind and learning to adjust to change. Be creative and evaluate relationships and cultivate communication. Working as a team and being a leader. One of the most important chapters which work with this class is building your skills and change with the times, not just work to fit your job description. I feel this is also relevant to the teachings in this class for teachers, who should be teaching for the students and how they learn. Not just to teach to get a passing grade from the students for the class. What would it look like to have a teacher teaching to the students learning ability and the librarian working with the students to provide the best services that will enhance the learning of the students? The combination of both is a win all around. At the library students can be mentors for other students each student can have the opportunity to be taught and to teach. Having the freedom and support to do a "Big Think" in the classroom and the library and compare and contrast what their findings are.
