Includes bibliographical references (pages 117-118).Classroom assessment for librarians: an introduction -- Chapter 1: Assessing prior knowledge and understanding -- Chapter 2: Assessing skill in analysis and critical thinking -- Chapter 3: Assessing skill in synthesis and creative thinking -- Chapter 4: Assessing skill in application -- Chapter 5: Assessing attitudes and self-awareness -- Chapter 6: Assessing learner reactions -- Appendix 1: Learning outcomes -- Appendix 2: Rubrics."Classroom Assessment Techniques for Librarians provides the tools librarians need to quickly and meaningfully assess student knowledge in the classroom. The authors, Melissa Bowles-Terry and Cassandra Kvenild, share 24 tried and true assessment tools, along with library-specific examples, to help librarians assess students' ability to recall, analyze, and apply new knowledge. The assessment tools in this book actively engage students by asking them to think, write, and reflect. Librarians can use results of these assessments as a starting point to define and measure information literacy learning outcomes as well as to improve their teaching skills and instructional design. This collection of assessment techniques can be adapted to multiple learning environments, including traditional one-shot library instruction, online instruction, and for-credit courses. This book is essential for academic libraries, and will prove useful to school libraries with strong information literacy programs, as well as library and information school collections". --Publisher.

The craft of librarian instruction : using acting techniques to create your teaching presence / by Artman, Julie.; Sundquist, Jeff,author.; Dechow, Doug,author.; Association of College and Research Libraries.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 99-101).Setting the stage -- Centering yourself -- Physical and vocal preparation -- Role-playing -- Action (and reaction) -- Your teaching prescence: charisma and chemistry -- The reviews are in!"Library instruction is like acting on the stage: you play a role as the instruction librarian. There is a live audience, usually only there for the one-shot--that one performance. You may even receive reviews or evaluations. Or maybe the teaching experience feels more like an audition--a bit unnerving! We hope to demonstrate how acting techniques can sharpen your instructional skills and establish your teaching identity, enliven your performance, and create an invigorating (and stress-free) learning experience for your students"--Page vii.
