[quote=Anonymous]We have been in two schools in DCPS and one librarian was amazing and has taught a wide range of literacy, research and genre activities and in another school the librarian seemed afraid of the kids older than 3rd grade and viewed being a librarian as primarily reading good books to kids. She was not awful, but she was also not great. What I also know is that the librarians receive very little support from the central office and many principals don't know how to effectively use librarians. That said like so many things a good principal, teacher, librarian relationship results in kids learning essential research and literacy skills. Break the chain at any point and it becomes a less effective position. However one can make that argument about most roles within a school. I personally consider the lack of a librarian as an indicator that my child should not attend a school, public or charter. [/quote]
