Too many students....not enough help!
1. How many classes should be in the library at once and still maintain sanity?
2. What is the best place to schedule library lab time?
3. How to get teachers to use a schedule for the library?
4. What is administrations role in enforcing this?
1. ONE! Too many students in the library create craziness in the library! Teachers should remain present while their class is in the library. If only sending a partial class while she remains in the library, it is ok if more than one teacher sends students, but should not exceed what is acceptable in terms of behavior management.
2. The best place is on the teacher shared drive under "library Schedule". Teachers can open the calendar that the librarian places in the folder and "sign up" for library time. if the slot is full- they would need to find a different time or talk to the teacher who occupies the space to see about trading.
3. Inform administration and staff on the new procedure in the library. Explain why there is a need for the new procedure and that learning and safety are of the upmost importance to the LMC.
4. Administration can reinforce this by talking over the need for the new procedures and the procedure itself in faculty meetings. If there is a problem with a teacher continuously abusing the new procedure, ask administration to talk with the staff member.
To was pure craziness! Too many students without supervision in the library created behavior issues. With only a part time assistant, it is difficult to have supervision at all times and still accomplish administrative duties that I am assigned. the solution to this is have my assistant be consistent on her schedule so we can publish the calendar in the teacher shared drive and teachers can sign up for lab time. The new procedure can be implemented and tweaks made as necessary.
