Improving Learning, Engaging Students and Changing the Collaborative Culture of a School Through the Learning Commons
Abstract
Teacher-librarian Nevin finds himself leading and collaborating not only in the library but, as the vision of the learning commons unfolds and prospers in his school, in classrooms, throughout the school and in technological and virtual environments. Many practical examples are described in this lively documentation of a burgeoning learning commons circa 2010.
Roger Nevin has taught over 25 years at the secondary, college and university level. He has taught the computer science qualification course at Trent University – School of Education and professional Learning. He is currently the teacher-librarian at Adam Scott C.V.I. in the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board in Ontario.
