CCPS Curricular Framework
• Touchstones – Socratic Seminar• Close reading• Universal Design for Learning• Understanding By Design• Concept-based Learning (cross content)• University of Kansas Content Enhancement
Tools• Routine writing (daily)

Curriculum Writing & Changes
• Serve on committees• Learn the curricular framework & use it as the
basis of communication• Make yourself useful as a resource to teachers• Advocate for how library program can help with
the process of curriculum change to supervisors • Connect to teachers’ needs and anxieties & help
them with instructional resources and reassurance
![Page 9: Hard Core Libraries: Supporting Instruction Using Common Core](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163e9550346895dd558d4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Librarian Curriculum Support
• Study the curriculum framework for the “big picture”• Audit the process for common errors in thought; address
them appropriately (discussion, identification of professional development needs - literary nonfiction)
• Know where you are not an expert; listen & learn• Ask for specific direction in terms of the curriculum
team’s needs & gather stellar resources• Offer these services to all content areas• Promote library services at each school (“Your librarian is
fully equipped to do this for you. Ask for it!”)
![Page 10: Hard Core Libraries: Supporting Instruction Using Common Core](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163e9550346895dd558d4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Changes to Library Program• Rethink use of space: accessibility, capacity, multi-
purpose or multi-class uses• Rethink scheduling: “just in time” research vs. soup to
nuts research projects• Rethink services: greater variety of instructional
services situated within research cycle, strategic training & use of student volunteers/aides, researchers’ advisory (see uploaded Reflection Conference Questions, Research Goal Tracking forms on MASL wiki)
• Rethink communication: AASL Standards for 21st Century Learners, STEM & math practices, capacities of literate individuals, & research cycle
• Rethink collection
![Page 11: Hard Core Libraries: Supporting Instruction Using Common Core](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163e9550346895dd558d4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Beefing Up Resources• Dust off the databases – explore their features more deeply,
find new ways to “sell” them
• Create self-support resources for users (screenshots & screencasts) http://ehsmediacenter.wikispaces.com/ScreenshotDirections+-+Public+Library+DB
• Locate and suggest alternate book selections based on text complexity/lexile

One-liners for teachers coming to the library with low-level, non-CCSS "projects“:
• I can help you make this more interesting for the students. • What are your learning targets for this lesson? How do they fit into our curriculum? • What 21st Century skills can we integrate that align with standards? • I'm sorry, but research and information is my certification area. I would love to make some improvements here. • Would you mind if I do a 10 minute info-mercial at the beginning of your lesson? I'm sure it will save these students more than 10 minutes in wasted time. • This lesson will make us look "less than stellar" - but I would love to help you improve it so you don't get a poor APPR rating. (Use this if you have nerve:) • I don't bring students to the Home and Careers room and announce "I would like to bring my students down to bake a cake, and this is the recipe I'd like them to use." So, would you mind if we collaboratively repackage this for common core alignment?

A Resource To Administrators
• Video clips going over CCSS facets from Vimeohttps://vimeo.com/search?q=common+core+EngageNY
& NYC CC Resource Libraryhttp://schools.nyc.gov/Academics/CommonCoreLibrary/default.htm
• Saving $ with databases • Professional Development Sessions
![Page 16: Hard Core Libraries: Supporting Instruction Using Common Core](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163e9550346895dd558d4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Professional Development Topics
• Database Resources (strategically instructed by content area and standards)
• Primary sources - where to get them & how to use them (LOC, Digital Archives)
• Multimedia: access, integration, creation & analysis
• Teaching and learning from multiple perspectives• Teaching students deeper research strategies
![Page 17: Hard Core Libraries: Supporting Instruction Using Common Core](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163e9550346895dd558d4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Public Library Collaboration
• Develop database support resources • Provide professional development database
support resources in self-serve format• Use need of the moment to integrate both
libraries more meaningfully within curriculum
![Page 18: Hard Core Libraries: Supporting Instruction Using Common Core](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163e9550346895dd558d4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Multimedia & Technology• Not all multimedia is created equal• Go beyond YouTube and initial engagement• Elevate conversation and content • Ted.com – power of media used well
http://www.ted.com/talks/beeban_kidron_the_shared_wonder_of_film.html
• Paige Jaeger’s Use of Web 2.0 Toolshttp://librarydoor.blogspot.com/2012/10/7-toolsto-empower-common-core.html
![Page 19: Hard Core Libraries: Supporting Instruction Using Common Core](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163e9550346895dd558d4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Implications for Purchasing• Manage budget differently so have resources to purchase materials
“just in time”• Broader ranges of reading levels in texts• Expanded nonfiction collection – with reading choices as well as
research choices• Tailoring optional purchases more specifically to the tastes/needs of
students to promote ongoing literacy development and develop more dynamic relationships with students
• Library may be/become students’ main source of fiction• Department budget considerations of spending requirements may
influence their purchases and/or lead to problems down the line as needs evolve – AP English “wish list”
![Page 20: Hard Core Libraries: Supporting Instruction Using Common Core](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163e9550346895dd558d4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Implications for Advocacy
• Get thee to a content supervisor!• $ value for instructional resources – we will
save you $ because we already have the resources teachers need
• Raise a cry from Whoville! “We are here!”
![Page 21: Hard Core Libraries: Supporting Instruction Using Common Core](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163e9550346895dd558d4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Example: Primary Source Analysis
• LOC image archives• LOC Primary Source Analysis Tools• National Archives Digital Library• Using ALL the resources in the databases
Grouped sets of images to show multiple perspectives – students explore and analyze to create essential questions

Services to Students• Text selection a.k.a. “personal curation”• Targeted displays: nonfiction, tough reads, paired
fiction/nonfiction• Empower them to articulate their needs• Give them what they need instructionally and personally • Suggestions box?• Log sheet like doctor’s office or clinic (Why are you here?
What service do you need?) – like Apple genius bar – after school appointments for info needs or appointments like guidance visits – need to facilitate communication – online form/email/askyourlibrarian type feature on a website
• Test prep practices sessions after school• Redefine “underserved” students

If students have to… (know and be able to) Then teachers have to…
Develop questions that increasingly engage others
Model questioning and highlight the different purposes of questions
http://schools.nyc.gov/Academics/CommonCoreLibrary/About/InstructionalShifts/default.htmNYC Department of Education Facilitation Guide For Making Connections In Literacy
Then librarians have to…
Demonstrate how to analyze, critique, and revise questions

Research Project Examples Baltimore County
• In The Time Of Butterflieshttp://bcps.org/offices/lis/models/highcore.html
• I Declare! Founding Fathers Sound Offhttp://www.bcps.org/offices/lis/models/declaration/index.html
![Page 29: Hard Core Libraries: Supporting Instruction Using Common Core](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163e9550346895dd558d4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Challenges
• Inertia• Stamina for problem-solving• Learned helplessness• Perseverance despite challenges• Engagement• Teacher capacity
![Page 30: Hard Core Libraries: Supporting Instruction Using Common Core](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163e9550346895dd558d4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Things That Concern Me• Reading comprehension strategies being touted as
analysis tools• Surface level understanding of lexile level and text
complexity• Instructional decisions based on a perceived lack of
resources• Information poor resources • Lack of communication among stakeholders• Hobby teaching that gets repackaged with each iteration• Teacher and administrator stress
![Page 31: Hard Core Libraries: Supporting Instruction Using Common Core](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163e9550346895dd558d4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
