| contents | Toward a Culture of Inquiry in a World of Choices Bush, Gail Educational Strategies Writing Strategies School Libraries Librarians Thinking Skills Inquiry Librarian Teacher Cooperation Discussion (Teaching Technique) Teaching Methods Library Instruction School Culture Library Role Instructional Design While many robust library programs engage students in problem-finding, inquiry-rich curricula, other programs might benefit from addition of a few key strategies. Discussion strategies might be used during read-alouds or as enhancements to an instructional strategy like jigsaw. Writing strategies might be integrated into research projects or might also be used as discussion prompts. Any student or grade level can benefit from learning the language of critical thinking. If the library is indeed an independent learning environment, the culture it is transmitting is one of inquiry, and the language used reinforces that culture. School librarians who are reaching admirable levels of collaborative planning for interdisciplinary units are charged with embedding inquiry instructional strategies to strengthen students' higher-order thinking skills. In this article, the author presents writing instruction strategies and some essential questions that shape a curriculum. The author discusses the role of school librarians in encouraging a culture of inquiry in a world of choices. |
