The TL and the curriculum

The TL and the curriculum
Quality teaching is essential for RBL and IBL as it provides the base for meaningful learning in a resource rich environment, based on significant learning directed at learning outcomes. Resources are provided in a variety of formats for students to receive and input, then discover, explore and use the 18 elements of Quality teaching. The TL's role is to support the curriculum through (I believe) Guided Inquiry, employing Quality Teaching methods. The TL's program should be an extension or inclusion of the class teachers' program, thus supporting other teaching staff. This should be backed and encouraged by the Principal.When the TL program is separate from the class teachers, one can find that the Library is using RBL and providing many resoureces in all media formats that will not be accessed anywhere except in the Library, during Library lesson time. Communication, collaboration and co-operation is the key to having those many hours of resource collaboration being utilised. Make the staff realise that you are still a classroom teacher too!
