    Montana Common Core State Standards and Assessment: 10

    Teacher-Librarians will play a critical role in the implementation of the Montana Common Core Standards. As teachers of information and technology literacy, advocates for reading, and managers of information services, the teacher-librarian should focus on the following areas.

    Resources to Review (compiled by Jennifer Maurer, Oregon State Library):

    SLJ Article about Common Core & School Libraries

    Back in early April, School Library Journal had an excellent article about the role of school librarians in implementing the common core state standards (CCSS); it’s called “All Aboard!: Implementing Common Core Offers School Librarians an Opportunity to Take the Lead.” Thanks to Jennifer Maydole for bringing it to my attention. http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/slj/home/893928-312/all_aboard_implementing_common_core.html.csp

    The article offers some very practical advice on supporting the common core standards, especially around building your nonfiction collection. Recall that an emphasis on engaging students with informational text is one of the major shifts in the English language arts and the literacy in the content areas standards. The article ends with a section on getting started with the CCSS that encourages library staff to rethink their collection and its funding sources. Below are a few resources that can support you in those efforts.

    Nonfiction/Informational Texts

    These are some resources that came to mind; the list is by no means exhaustive.

    Databases

    From the SLJ article: “Close reading of shorter texts. Your databases will become teachers’ new best friends once they discover that periodicals are a great source of superb shorter texts that students can dive into. Stretch your collection to include resources like The Civil War Times and other niche publications.”

    Highlight resources from the statewide periodicals databases suite.


    Primary Sources

    From the SLJ article: “The focus is on primary (or maybe secondary) sources, not the predigested tertiary writing found in many of today’s textbooks.”

    Sample Resource: http://teachinghistory.org/best-practices/using-primary-sources/23513 (model for analyzing historical sources)

    Nonfiction Book Awards

    From the SLJ article: “Although we’re all still trying to figure out what exactly the term ‘literary nonfiction’ means, for your library it means you’ll need to buy more world-class informational texts. Think Gail Gibbons’s animal books or Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs and Steel—extremely well-written titles that are packed with valuable information.”

    Creating Questions for Close Analytic Reading: This document is on the support page for the ELA standards and helps educators develop better questions to ask of students when analyzing informational text: http://www.achievethecore.org/steal-these-tools/text-dependent-questions.

    Nonfiction for Young Adults: From Delight to Wisdom: This book by Dr. Betty Carter and by Richard Abrahamson is 20 years old, but it has great ideas for using nonfiction in libraries and classrooms. It also explains how to choose informational books – identifies criteria to look for when selecting nonfiction. http://www.bama.ua.edu/~jstallwo/yal/Articles/Some%20Teens%20Prefer%20Nonfiction.pdf (article that references the book)
