Collaboration between teacher and librarian before assignments are given is an important part of the collaboration process. In order for a research project to be successful, both teacher and librarian must be involved in the process and have common goals for the students. The article that goes with this image discusses a program called the Big6. This is a six-step problem-solving process that takes students from figuring out what the problem (or task) is, through the actual research, to the final product and self evaluation.
In order for the process to work, both teacher and librarian must commit to planning time and class time to ensure the success of the student. Also, with both the teacher and librarian involved, the students have a higher student/teacher ratio with a higher student achievement.
I selected this image because it gives a good visual image of collaboration between teacher and librarian. It also shows the steps needed to have successful project completion. I found this image by searching for teacher/librarian collaboration on Google images. The image can be found at http://www.newhorizons.org/strategies/technology/gallaher.htm
