I think this is one of the most important books written for library media specialists. Time will tell how this work stands the test of time and evolving roles, but I would for the time being consider it required reading for all who either are or want to work as a school library media specialist.

Much of the information in this edition is reused from the first edition, but it takes the concepts of the first edition and extends them even more, especially in the virtual area. While the teacher librarian in the initial comics can be physically seen as somewhat scary, the message isn't. It is as a helpful, collaborative presence that helps the teacher librarian facilitate the continuing journey of learning. The ideas in this book are important - they are visionary and go way beyond the idea of the classic school library program. Loertscher and company try to move teacher librarians from being an isolated entity to a much more collaborative and exciting learning place. In this book there is much in terms of helpful resources to read about the theories in it as well as concrete examples of how it begins to work. Ever the beta situation (and acknowledged as such), the learning commons approach is an excellent way to help today's learners with learning. Useful index and glossary. Not to be missed! Highly recommended.… (mais)

Flexible in its use, this book allows any lesson or instructional activity to conclude with a metacognitive action that allows learners to understand what has been learned why and how. This book takes one through the various steps of developing a "big think" that is integral to the lesson but reflective of what has been learned. It shows how collective brainstorming about what has been learned can enhance the learning experience. And it gives freedom to all to consider how this type of instruction could be even better when done again. Good strategies to consider with prescriptive models if needed. Will work to insert one's own curriculum in it.… (mais)
