The blank stare, the uncomfortable silence, the tick...tick...tick of the clock while the question still hangs in the air. What's an instruction librarian to do? Three techniques to engage student learning include: guided notes, cooperative learning strategies, and task-based learning. This workshop will show you how to combine the best practices of each approach by creating a single interactive worksheet meeting three instruction goals: creating a structure to learn new things, prompt classroom discussion, and help students complete their assignments. Post session participants will have access to additional material including selected resources covering each teaching methodology and additional example worksheets.
Participants will be able to: 1. Identify three teaching methodologies: guided notes, cooperative learning, and task-based learning in the facilitation of library instruction 2. Determine which teaching methodologies can be used to meet key library instruction goals 3. Combine these techniques and design interactive worksheets creating an engaging library instruction session with lively classroom discussion
