Library instruction is like acting: There's a live audience, in
person or online; you may be doing a one-shot, limited engagement,
or play to the same crowd repeatedly over the course of a term; and
you usually expect reviews. Most important, instruction is like
acting in that you're playing a role, and it's crucial to prepare
your performance before you go on in order to shine and connect
authentically with students. Your Craft as a Teaching Librarian:
Using Acting Skills to Create a Dynamic Presence -a revised and
expanded edition of The Craft of Librarian Instruction-captures how
acting techniques can sharpen your instructional skills and
establish your teaching identity, enliven your performance, and
create an invigorating learning experience for your students. It's
divided into three entertaining sections: Prepare and Rehearse:
Centering yourself, physical and vocal preparation, mindfulness,
and avoiding stage fright Perform and Connect: Role playing,
identity, action/reaction, and information literacy Reflect and
Sharpen: Assessment and adaptation Chapters feature exercises to
explore on your own or with a colleague, question and answer
sections to help you identify potential challenges and solutions,
and tips on deepening your teaching skills. A glossary of acting
terms and a "learn more about it" bibliography provide additional
context for the methods and techniques presented. Your Craft as a
Teaching Librarian can help you personalize and characterize your
teaching presence and help those with little to no teaching
experience, instructors dealing with shyness or stage fright, and
more experienced librarians in need of a refreshed perspective,
adding an undeniable star quality to your instructional
performance.
