It covers familiar, everyday topics of the most concern to practitioners--assessment, literacy and reading, diversity, intellectual freedom, communication, collaboration, and more. But it is the approach that makes this book unique. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter of \u003ci\u003eTales Out of the School Library\u003c\/i\u003e begins with a story from one of three fictional, yet recognizably authentic library media specialists--composites of real professionals, each with distinctive personalities, strengths, and challenges. These tales of elementary, middle, and high school librarians play out over the course of a school year, and serve as the focal point for discussions of essential aspects of teaching, communication, and leadership. Follow-up questions, an annotated bibliography, connections to AASL's Standards for the 21st-Century Learner, and discussion questions further add to the value of this innovative volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theodore R.
