Feb. 3rd, 2015 11:08 pmReflective Teaching, Effective Learning: Instructional Literacy for Library Educators
by Char Booth
I read this book for work, as I get deeper into doing library instruction, and I found it incredibly useful. In fact, it's exactly what I needed. Booth provides not just a how-to on designing instruction sessions, but also an overview on educational theory and methods. She puts all of this into the right context and framework for people who will only have a session or two with any given group of students instead of a whole semester or year with them. Best of all, the methods and systems Booth describes for designing instruction sessions are very flexible and scalable, so that they are equally useful whether you have a few weeks or a few days to get your session together.
