It provides examples of how the author has successfully collaborated with teaching staff, departments, feeder primary schools, public libraries, and other external organizations. The benefits of collaboration include being more effective, adding value, making things easier, and making the librarian indispensable.

The cloak of invisibility: Mind-reading, magic & other librarian superpowersSenga White
Librarians know their “superpowers” and a collaborative mind-set is but one of them. However, they often feel like they’re wearing a cloak of invisibility when attempting to establish their role in supporting the curriculum in schools and initiating collaboration in less “traditional” areas, or outside the physical library environment. The need for such collaborative approaches in education has never been more important or urgent. They are foundational to effective pedagogy and enhance the way schools function in an increasingly networked world. (Core Education, 2018), but effective outcomes-based collaboration is not yet deeply established – so there are few friends or colleagues to learn from. (Munby & Fullan, 2016). This workshop will discuss the current New Zealand research into teacher/librarian collaboration, and explore the role of librarian leadership in this while providing examples of how and why it works.

I placed <a href="http://blog.extraface.com/2007/10/19/raiders-lose-i-lose-slideshow-to-come/">a bet</a> on the Raiders/Chargers game last weekend in which the loser was to make a presentation on why their team lost. Since the Raiders lost and the Chargers covered the spread, I made this.

Learn how our small but mighty library partnered with the First Year Experience program to scaffold information literacy concepts early on in students' academic careers. We incorporated flipped classroom methods, assessment, and belonging mindset to transform a typical library tour into instruction, all the while turning a library regular into a true partner. This presentation covers the first three years of our story and gives our aspirations for future directions for the work under the incoming Guided Pathways educational model.

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.

Editor's Notes
This was going to be a straight seminar – I thought it was a one hour session but noticed when planning it was an hour and a half so I will outline some of the things I have done and then hopefully we can share things that have worked for us and partnerships we have been able to develop to good use.
Perceptions – assumptions. I assumed it was a 1 hour talk and you assumed it was a seminar but have slightly modified things! Hope that is ok. I am ot an expert – just want to share some strategies I have adopted
Assumptions about this session!
Our sponsors
We are just off Old Kent Road in South East London – you may know it from the Monopoly board – brown square!!!
So I came in 2005. This is my 4 th year No Library until then No tradition of reading for pleasure. Had to work with whom I could Had no E-learning co-ordinator. No Careers co-ordinator. No Literacy co-ordinator. No Transition co-ordinator. All of these posts were created in this last year! Rivals? I could have applied for all these posts – I know many of you may well hold responsibility for some of these areas in addition to your Library role. Time? Money? Whether it is your responsibility or not these are all areas that involve us .
Internal and external. Brainstorm with the person next to you
This was what I came up with in the 10 minutes it took to do this. There are probably lots more Example Professional networks – SLA, SLG, SLN, SLN Ning, SELF, local groups of librarians. We all know how isolated we can become so essential to network for support, and ideas. All these people should be talking to each other. As a librarian you are the hub and can often put people in touch with each other e.g Sharon Whyatt Link governor - Literacy
Some info about six degrees of separation theory We are all part of lots of networks – social networking, Facebook, twitter, ning, sln, SLA etc email groups. Think about your school networks . Library should be the hub of the school and you at the hub of all these networks/ Think about them and exploit them It may be a shared interest in something outside school – you may have given them a lift . Make connections .
who should we connect with and how So
Share the load! Improves what you do
Obviously this is the crux of what we do. A natural link with English dept. I have fortnih= HOF meetings Dept meetings Schemes of work New curriculum Functional skills Learning to Learn EPQ/IB Science coursework Year 7, 10, 12 Inductions Projects and research English – Fortnightly library based lessons Maths – Kjartan Poskitt: average words to a page; Science – planets, coursework RS – Places of worship, Slaverade – research; Foof Tech – range of year groups and depts. WW1 Battlefield trip – seize opportunities But I am more interested in joint planning.
Often they also want support. They have taken on this role – you can be their ally. Benefit each other. Joint planning. They may have money! Carnegie. Writing group. Trips andvisits
Involving all staff. Happens in lesson time not just at lunchtime!!! Staff having photos taken reading Staff as children Whole Year groups- Maths – Kjartan Poskitt They help with events. Wearing badges Art Dept – Robert Crowther – pop up book making; Greenaway shadowing; designing book covers: National Doodle Day. Artefact loans ; cartoon workshops.
Joint 6 th form and Staff book group. Meet twice a term in library after school. Run by librarian and English teacher but attended by a wide cross-section of staff Mixture of the classics and some popular modern literature. Books supplied by public libraries. Are for discussion on our VLE Carnegie – funding and details of students from G and T co-ordinator Manga –public libraries. Visited an event at local library. Got recommendations rom staff there. Parent – runs chess club – I have budget Member of office staff runs Warhammer – I ordered White Dwarf and some of the warhammer books. He runs it in library Debating Society – English teacher – website links on Fronter. Use library to do research and hold debates. Help with training. Go to external debates. Drama dept – Looking for JJ – copies of book and playscript.
E learning. Feeding in info to colleagues. Suggestions for how they can use it
Norwood initiatives Torchlight Group Postcard project Tudor mornings Library skills Taster Days Bookweek – invite them up to a storytelling sessions Lambeth – no SLS . Funding from EAZ to set up project loan service to 6 feeder primaries Visited all the main 6 feeder primaries – find out about their libraries. Offered advice and support as an SLS Library advisor. Their library helpers came to visit and I took our library helpers down there to share ideas. Greenaway – copies of books for our Year 6 less able readers and their Year 3s. Visit.
Termly meetings. Fronter group perhaps? Borrow copies of books fro each other when we have an event Joint training – Lambeth – Geoff Dubber, Phil Bradley. Kathy Lemaire. Lewisham Schools Book Quiz Southwark Book Award
Works both ways. We invite local public library staff to our meetings – both our planning for Southwark Book Award and to our local School librarians meetings. In previous posts I was invited to attend selection meetings with public library staff Make Links. Forge connections. We can be got hold of! Often they have no contact name in the school and if they phone teachers are teaching, So we are a good point of contact Loaned us books for the 6 th form Book Group Storyteller helped us launch it They invite classes to come to events – send us tickets. Surveys, Involve our students in ideas for new library at Canada Water YCC- link between museums, public libs and schools- archive of the Children’s Society- creative writing – authors. Extra books Summer reading – I promote it in our Year 6 transition info – get leaflets to promote it. Certificates awarded to Year 7s in school. NYR co-ordinator? Who was it in your authroity? Was there joined up working ? Events?
A culmination of the links developed with these last 4 – public libraries, primaries, secondaries and the lea resulted in the establishment of the Southwark Book Award In fact it was the the result of networking – coming to a Geoff Dubber talk at SLA about transition and lnks with primaries and reading an article by Lyn Hopson in Doncaster about their book award. Funding and support
This is the one main project that probably links all these agencies:- public libraries (Chatterbooks groups, copies in the local library) Secondaries, primaries and lea ( funding) How it came about First time primary teachers had been into the school First time some of the English teachers had met with their primary school counterparts First time public library staff had really made contact with English depts and librarians Joint initiative. You may be going to Lyn Hopson’s session 3 years. 1,000reviews, 1000kids, Our project different – Year 6/7 and copies of the books! 25 schools. £5,000 to buy books. £15000 for drama workshops and final events Voicethread Online Games – classtools.net and what2learn.com Resources – schemes of work; ideas: bookmarks, posters, presentations, wordsearches, playscript; Who wants to be a millionaire quiz: Booktrailers
Why ? Old transition units not used. Portfolios not forthcoming No contact between primaries and secondaries. No Head of Transition. Head of Year 7 was not a teacher – so no background in pedagogy. Not involved in the curriculum . Secondary staff had not visited primaries or vice versa! Book Awards – kids vote does not count. Too high level and not of appeal to Year 6/7. Kids visit old primary – after SATS – talk about being at secondary school Key partners – Year 6 teachers, English teachers, Literacy co-ordinators, English advisor, public libraries school librarians, publishers, authors, book suppliers , Head of ICT and IT techies, web designer, dram consultant, storyteller.
Last year’s books
This is my challenge. Would be interested in knowing how others have worked with Parents
15 minutes – initiatives/projects – bth with internal and external partners. Then we will share at the end.
Parents? That is my biggest challenge.
Go to meetings! Invite yourself to meetings Call meetings! Social event – get people into the library – cup of tea and cake NQTs – Inset – get in on that. They may be the people you will be able to work with in future. They will want support and you can offer it Ask to attend Dept meetings if you have something you want to run by staff and get their ideas/feedback. Email staff to arrange a good time to meet with them even if only for 10 minutes to discuss something. If you find something you would like to do – competiiton, spelling bee – email the link to colleagues . Book trailers– ICT project? Premier League Reading Stars – PRLS – PE teachers, link person for Literacy in each dept?
