Practicing librarians and library educators demonstrate the power
of inquiry to achieve the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and
promote school librarians as key partners in implementing this type
of critical teaching and learning in K-12 schools. With the
adoption of the CCSS in most of the nation's schools, educators and
administrators at K-12 schools have a pressing need to find the
best ways to implement these rigorous and comprehensive standards
that challenge students to understand informational text and
digital content at increasing levels of complexity. This text
provides faculty with much-needed support in achieving this
critical goal, thoroughly describing inquiry learning and how it
links to the CCSS. The authors-nearly 30 contributors total,
comprising librarians, library media specialists, educational
leaders, teachers from the kindergarten level to college
professors, and administrators, each with direct experience and
knowledge regarding the subject matter-explain how the standards'
emphasis on in-depth investigation and evidence-based reading and
writing skills dovetail perfectly with inquiry-based learning
initiatives. Acclaimed thought leaders such as Jean Donham, Kristin
Fontischiaro, Leslie Maniotes, and Barbara Stripling clearly define
and illuminate the librarian's role in school initiatives today and
share lesson plans that have been proven effective in actual
practice. Features a foreword by Allison Zmuda, former public high
school teacher, renowned education consultant, president of
Competent Classroom, member of the Association for Supervision and
Curriculum Development (ASCD), and author of numerous publications
about learning, including Breaking Free from Myths about Teaching
and Learning Defines and elaborates on the Common Core State
Standards (CCSS) as they relate to inquiry learning Describes the
role of the school librarian in implementing the CCSS and inquiry
learning in the school Introduces examples of inquiry-focused
learning approaches, including guided inquiry design and
project-based learning Provides lesson plans that will spark more
practical ideas for inquiry-based instruction that address the CCSS
