This guide lays the framework for helping turn your school library into a whole school library learning commons (WSLLC)--a space where traditional academics merge with the latest technologies to engage learners in a way never before realized. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAuthor Judith Anne Sykes contends that since the WSLLC philosophy allows staff and students to co-create knowledge in a shared space, it is more effective than the traditional approach. Sykes addresses the differences between a school library and a WSLLC, provides reasons to champion its creation in your institution, and discusses how to use mentoring as a means to sustain its survival. The book explores the roles and responsibilities of educators in developing WSLLC goals and presents strategies for using typical assessment tools--including standardized tests, report cards, and anecdotal assessments--to help support its philosophy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJudith Anne Sykes\u003cb\u003e is an educational consultant as well as an advocate for the whole school library learning commons.
