Library Instruction 101

Student Achievement is the Bottom Line!!!

Library Technicians / Paras

A Library Tech/para in the library means The library is open Kids are checking out materials Library Tech/para plans books for story time – not lessons The Library Tech/para does NOT plan any library lessons.

The teachers must plan these. The library tech can carry out parts of the lesson once it is planned.

Teachers come to the library with their students NO LIBRARY GRADES ARE GIVEN!
