Teacher Librarians fulfill many functions in our schools but their
main role is assisting students on the road to learning. As the
scope of student needs continues to broaden, how can Teacher Librarians build inclusive collections and support all students in research and independent reading quests? This presentation will help you gain a better understanding of differentiation in the library classroom and how to assemble resources that are challenging and accessible to a range of student abilities.
What counts in reading and writing assessment? How do we align our teaching and our assessment? What is valued? Are all students included? How much time is taken? How do we use the information we collect to inform our teaching? AFL counts!

Fostering interest in literacy The Framework of Reading Literacyaskrunu
The Framework of Literacy Instruction is a guide of how to choose text and instructional strategies which can support learners in a literacy environment.
Effective readers are dependent upon effective literacy programs
Teachers should assess their learners and establish a program which speaks to the students interests, identities, concerns, and strengths/weaknesses.
Students should be given an environment which is conducive to learning how to effectively read and write.
Students should be given the opportunity to connect with the text through cultural identity, interest, and critical analysis
Children are not things to be modeled but people to be unfolded (Jess Lair). Discuss the process of children learning and tips and strategies for teachers to facilitate children learning.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

5. How Differentiation Works at GFS
• Cohort was created to examine how we were
reaching our highest achieving students
• Lead Research on gifted education
• Differentiation surfaced as the practice to
implement
• Carol Ann Tomlinson
6.
7. The Common Sense of Differentiation
● Ensuring an environment that actively supports
students in the work of learning (mindsets,
connections and community)
● Absolute clarity about a powerful learning
destination
● Persistently knowing where students are in
relation to the destination all along the way
● Adjusting teaching to make sure each student
arrives at the destination
9. “When classroom teachers
partner with the teacher-
librarian to design, facilitate
and evaluate learning
experiences, the opportunities
for differentiation are
doubled.
-Carol Koechlin and Sandi Swaan
10. Where Librarians and Libraries
Play a Role
differentiated information resources
technology rich environments
flexible learning environments
11. More Than One Way to get there
We have to know where we want all students to end
up before we can think intelligently about how we
want them to get there!
Differentiation is seldom about different outcomes
for different kids. It’s about different ways to get
students where they need to go.
12. Fundamental to the Success of Teaching and Learning
is Teacher’s understanding of What Students Must:
Understand
Know Be able
to do
13. Rationale for Using Tiered Assignments
Allows students to begin learning where they are
Allows students to work with appropriately
challenging tasks
Allows modifications of working conditions based on
learning style
Avoids work that is anxiety production or boredom
producing
14. Tiered Assignment Examples
Make a poster showing the
three types of angles we
discussed: acute, right and
obtuse. Draw and label an
example of each type. Then
look through magazines and
catalogues to find at least
two examples of each type
of angle and add the
pictures to your poster.
Your poster should tell us
about the types of angles.
Compose a short story or
poem about angles. You must
use all three types of
angles that we have talked
about. Be sure your story
or poem includes the
distinguishing
characteristics of the type
of angles and clearly
teaches us about the angles.
Design and draw a building
that has no right angles.
Write three paragraphs
describing your building and
its angles. In your
description, include what the
building would be used for.
What will the doors and
windows be like in your
building? Will your design be
popular with the general
public? Why or why not?
15. The Importance of a Quality Curriculum
It is artificial to separate curriculum
and instruction. What we teach
sharply affects how we teach.
16. Questions to Consider about the Quality of a
Curriculum Unit
• In unit planning do students understand what they should
know, understand, and be able to do at each step of the
process?
• Is the unit constructed so that it is relevant to students
lives and experiences so they can build on prior knowledge?
• Does the work the students are asked to do generally
support them in becoming thinkers and problem solvers,
often drawing on methods and practices of experts?
17. Differentiation in response to Student Readiness
Teachers looking for student’s readiness needs in regard to
specific academic content rather than focusing on student’s
ability are well positioned to work from a fluid, “growth mindset”
Readiness is not a synonym for ability
19. Student Interest
Interest refers to a feeling or emotion that causes an individual
to attend or focus on something because it matters to them
Situational Interest and Individual Interest
Student interests are conduits to motivation, relevance, and
understanding
20. Differentiating in Response to Student Interest
• Provide resources of all kinds that help students relate
essential content to their areas of interest
• Use illustrations of complex ideas related to student
interests to keep them moving from the familiar to more
challenging
• Show examples of skill applications in areas of student
interest to see how skills are applied in a real world
setting
• Use examples that mirror experiences of all students
• Share ways in which personal interests intersect with
essential knowledge and understandings
21. Neuroscience and Interest
Leads to
greater
student
engagement
Contributes
to a sense
of
competence
and
autonomy
Promotes
positive
connections
between
student and
teacher
22. How are you promoting and providing for
student interest
In the Library?
23.
24. Differentiation through Curation
Curation Tools
AASL Best apps for
teaching and learning
Gibbon
Blendspace
Learn.ist
List.ly
Zaption
App Smashing
Mix and maximize app
utility to fit a particular
need - places choice and
accountability in the
hands of learners!
25. “...Be evaluative in your thinking
and practice and encourage
students to assume this stance
as well. Often, discovering that a
tool doesn’t fit a need can also
be a productive outcome.
-Rebecca Morris, Professor Library and Information Studies in the School of
Education at UNC Greensboro
