Here's What It Takes Valenza, Joyce Kasman Student Teachers Mentors School Libraries Librarians Librarian Teacher Cooperation Preservice Teachers Competence Handheld Devices Web Sites High School Students Like many teacher librarians, this author is often blessed with the opportunity to mentor preservice teacher librarians. There are "apps" she would like to "load" onto every student teacher-librarian's "screen," if he or she is to have true credibility in leading a school through an information and communication landscape that is continually in flux. For starters, any teacher librarian worth his or her salt in 2011 must be on top of the latest strategies and tools for searching, not to mention organizing information and telling digital stories. The author would like future teacher librarians to leave their practicum mentors with a few fairly granular competencies--for instance, how best to present the elements of a program online--ones that do not appear on a typical preservice checklist, but will prepare them for their real-life work with students and faculty. Competencies that will encourage them to continue to develop new skills. In this article, the author presents her "nonnegotiable requirements" for 2011.
