Social Studies CBA/TTT Meeting

This afternoon, I was able to attend a meeting at the district office between the K-6 Social Studies District Lead, Teach the Teachers program leaders, and the Instructional Media Dept. (IMD). I felt honored to be asked to attend. The district is working on rolling out the civics CBA for 5th grade next year. The idea was to integrate the CBA with school librarian (and teacher-libraries) and technology. I learned about the Teach the Teacher's program, the district's plan for meeting with 5th grade teachers, and the inclusion of librarians. We shared what we knew about the CBAs and I shared the WLMA web-page for CBAs. I like how one of the technology folks said that the librarians are coaches for research. I'm excited about the prospect of teacher-librarians (we call ourselves LMS in Edmonds) taking an important role in the CBA effort.
