Description:

This unit examines the role of the Teacher Librarian (TL) as a specialist teacher who assists teachers with curricula in their schools. Students will develop the theoretical knowledge needed for strategic planning, selecting and de-selecting school resources, developing useful professional opportunities, and assessing information and ethical polices such as cybersafety. Students are also introduced to the theory and practice of curriculum mapping of generic capabilities to specific subject area content in the Australian Curriculum and the WA Curriculum Framework. They will learn how to align resource selection curriculum programmes, and how to develop an information literacy (IL) skills continuum designed to enhance learning and thinking skills across the curriculum. Students will also examine literacy development and how to embed and support it across curricula in their schools.
