This course aims to equip librarians with instructional design skills to collaborate with teachers and improve instruction. It consists of 7 modules that will teach librarians how to analyze learner needs, design effective lessons, implement instructional plans, evaluate results, identify technology tools, and understand co-teaching models. The modules break down the instructional design process, provide resources on principles and techniques, and include pre-and post-activities for each topic. Learners should work through the adaptive course with a collaborating teacher to apply the skills to real-world practice.

9. Things to keep in mind…
You will not see all of the course work at once. It has
“adaptive release” rules applied to it, so as you
complete the activities the module content will be
released.
The coursework is designed to provide job embedded
professional development. It would be best if you
could partner with a teacher and work through the
coursework collaborating with him/her to complete
the associated assignments.
