Editing this mega #episode on Inclusive Programming with Rachel Grover and @MamaGilbsLib. Love this quote from Stacy “One of the BEST things about being a #librarian is that anything we don’t know we get to learn about!”
Yesterday was full of so many good things--teaching Stats about explanatory variables, helping plan a PD on Ss engagement, teaching English 10 abt Canva & components of a BAD presentation, & facilitating PD on cultural responsiveness in #math. The #SchoolLibrary was a busy place!
Thanks to @LMS_United for hosting @rgrov1013 & me! It was truly a dream come true to be a guest and to get to talk about belonging in the #SchoolLibrary--a topic so close to my ❤️.
Give it a listen, and stay tuned for another installment coming in 2024! 🎉
TY @rgrov1013 and @MamaGilbsLib Sooo many strategies for Helping Students Belong in our #libraries! Special offer from @literati and @CapstonePub apple.co/3sCHg0Y

It's been a busy week in the library! English 10 starting guided-inquiry research projects, MS AVID setting goals, Algebra 1 building community in the Maker Lab, dinosaur hunting for Dino-vember, and so much more. We ❤️ supporting our Hawks! @FCPSHayfieldSS @FCPS_LIS
We never know the buildings that get built on the foundations we help lay." - @aishasaeed at #vassl sharing the impact you can have, even when you may never know. ❤️ #vaasl23
Alright, I might be getting this new social media landscape down:
-BlueSky for library life and professional connections
-Threads & Insta for personal life and random musings
-X for connections who haven't switched to somewhere else...yet
-TikTok for...jk, I'm too old 😂
Talking about the 80s with my MS after-school club...
Student 1: That's about when you were born, right?
Me: Yeah, I was born in 1985.
Student 2: Hey, that's when my dad was born!

‘Regular for-profit book fairs are simply—in clear terms—not okay. @EquityLiteracy found that they were the school event that most embarrassed families. There IS a better way. For our students and families. For the library communities we create together. #TrueBookFAIR 6/6
#AASL23 was full of so much joy - presenting with @rgrov1013, meeting some of my library heroes (*cough @erikaslong @abmack33 @LMS_United cough*), hanging out with wonderful old friends, making new awesome friends, and so much more. Can't wait to see everyone in St. Louis in '25!

In middle and high school, asking students to struggle with key concepts before teaching the correct solutions is highly effective. But use the tactic surgically to avoid too much frustration.
ALT Did You Know?: When 9th grade students wrestled with math problems to find their own solutions before receiving instruction, their comprehension nearly doubled, compared to students learning via direct instruction only. In middle and high school, asking students to struggle with key concepts before teaching the correct solutions is highly effective. But use the tactic surgically to avoid too much frustration.

Some positive news out of the @humanrightscam2 #YouthSurvey - Almost 90% of LGBTQ+ Ss feel safe in their #SchoolLibrary. 🎉🙌🏻 #AASL23
