GLC - Georgia Librarian Instructional Design and Collaboration Questions and Answers — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A school librarian and a social studies teacher are leading a unit on the Civil Rights Movement. They divide the class into four groups. Each group rotates through different learning centers in the library: one analyzing primary source documents with the teacher, one exploring curated websites with the librarian, one viewing a documentary, and one working on a collaborative timeline. Which co-teaching model is being implemented?
- One Teach, One Assist
- Team Teaching
- Station Teaching (Correct answer)
- Parallel Teaching
Correct answer: Station Teaching
Station Teaching is a co-teaching model where the instructional content is divided into different parts, and students rotate between various stations or centers to learn. In this scenario, both the librarian and the teacher are actively instructing different groups at the same time, along with independent stations.
Question 2: A middle school librarian designs a lesson where students learn to use a citation management tool and create an annotated bibliography. A key objective is for students to understand the ethical responsibility of giving credit to the original creators of information. This objective most directly supports which AASL Standards Shared Foundation?
- Inquire
- Engage (Correct answer)
- Curate
- Collaborate
Correct answer: Engage
The AASL Shared Foundation of 'Engage' focuses on learners demonstrating safe, legal, and ethical creating and sharing of knowledge products. This includes understanding and respecting intellectual property, which is central to the ethical use and proper citation of sources.
Question 3: A librarian is asked to develop a new series of workshops on fake news and misinformation for the community. Before designing any content, the librarian creates a survey to gauge community members' existing knowledge, their primary sources of news, and what they hope to learn. This survey is a key activity in which phase of the ADDIE instructional design model?
- Analysis (Correct answer)
- Design
- Implementation
- Development
Correct answer: Analysis
The Analysis phase is the first step of the ADDIE model, where the instructional designer identifies the learning problem, the goals and objectives, and the audience's needs and existing knowledge. Conducting a needs assessment survey is a fundamental part of this initial phase.
Question 4: When teaching a database search lesson, a high school librarian provides students with multiple ways to learn the material: a live demonstration on the smartboard, a printed step-by-step handout with screenshots, and a short video tutorial they can watch at their own pace. By offering the content in various formats, the librarian is primarily applying which principle of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)?
- Multiple Means of Engagement
- Multiple Means of Action and Expression
- Multiple Means of Collaboration
- Multiple Means of Representation (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Multiple Means of Representation
The UDL principle of Multiple Means of Representation refers to presenting information and content in different ways to meet the needs of diverse learners. Offering information through demonstration, text, and video are all different ways of representing the same core concepts.
Question 5: During a Professional Learning Community (PLC) meeting with tenth-grade English teachers, what is the school librarian's most valuable and unique contribution to the discussion about an upcoming research paper assignment?
- Offering to proctor the final exam for the teachers.
- Providing expertise on scaffolding the research process and curating cross-curricular digital and print resources. (Correct answer)
- Sharing general classroom discipline techniques.
- Volunteering to grade the students' final papers for grammar and spelling.
Correct answer: Providing expertise on scaffolding the research process and curating cross-curricular digital and print resources.
The school librarian's unique role allows them to have a whole-school perspective and expertise in information literacy, the research process, and a wide array of resources that can support curriculum across all subjects. Their most valuable contribution to a PLC is this specialized knowledge.
Question 6: A librarian is teaching fourth-grade students how to use the library's online catalog to find a book. The librarian first models the entire process. Next, students work in pairs to find a specific book with the librarian's guidance. Finally, each student is asked to independently find a book on a topic of their choice. This method of instruction is best described as:
- Differentiated Instruction
- Inquiry-Based Learning
- Scaffolding (Correct answer)
- Summative Assessment
Correct answer: Scaffolding
Scaffolding is an instructional technique where temporary supports are put in place to help students achieve a learning goal. The process of modeling, then providing guided practice, and finally moving to independent practice is a classic example of gradually removing support as the students' competence increases.
