 * Notes about co-teaching:**

Through colaborative teaching, educators develop a common language, a common set of practices and channels for communication that can increase student learning and help the entire school community better serve the acedemic and social needs of students and families" (Moreillon 6).  "Collaboration describes how people work together raher than what they do. It is a dynamic, interactive process among equal partners who strive together to reach excellence." ( Moreillon 4).

"When co-teaching reflection helps educators focuses on student learning as well as improving their own learning" (Moreillon 6). "Library-Teacher and classroom teacher collaboration as well as co-teaching can reduce class size, s tudent-teacher ratio is reduced increasing the amount of time spent with students" (Moreillon 7). "All educators, including teacher - librarians, must support student achievement in reading through systematic instruction." (Moreillon 2)

"Social networks are fundemental to all of us and as school librarians we develop multi dimensional networks within a school learning community that enables people to connect with each other and resources" (Shultz-Jones 20). "Finally, learning specialists must constantly seek feedback from their collegeagues to determine the effectiveness of their efforts. Such input mechanisms provide for critical exchanges that improve the quality of the collaborative tasks and hone professional relationships in the school" (Zmunda, Harada 34). "When you begin collaboration with teachers target the ones you know are receptive at first"(Shultz-Jones 21). As a collaborator, we have to have: Patience Be Supportive Provide Encouragement Be empathetic Have emotional intelligence with individuals and in a group (McGregor 211). "﻿The librarian who is interested in leading the schools learning community through change needs to remember there is no right or wrong way in this process to make things happen" (McGregor 204). "...Learning Specialists must constantly seek feedback from their colleagues to determine the effectiveness of their efforts. Such inpot mechanisms provide critical exchanges that improve the quality of the collaborative tasks and hone professional relationaships in the school." (Zmuda Harada 34).

"The change journey can then reflect the changes, build upon sucesses, and be informed upon less sucessful experiences" (McGregor 207). "Helping young minds take charge of their own learn is the finest contribution educators can make to student success in the 21st Century"(Zumda Harada 15). **MLA Ciatation** Moreillon, Judi.
