Teacher-Librarian and Classroom Teacher Collaboration

Once again I have found myself in the situation of thinking that I knew about a subject, only to have my thinking radically challenged!  It was reading this statement that caused a change in my understanding:

" When teachers and library media specialists work together to identify what students need to know about accessing, evaluation, interpreting, and applying information; when they plan how and where these skills will be taught and how they relate to content area learning; when they co-teach so students learn the skills at a time when they need them; and when they assess the students' process as they work with information as well as the end product, they have truly collaborated" (Montiel-Overall, 2005).

Wow!
