ARLIS/NA 49th Annual Conference

While teaching is often a core responsibility of art librarianship, many MLIS programs do not adequately prepare their students. This beginner’s workshop is intended to provide a foundational introduction to teaching, setting up librarians who are either new to the field or simply new to teaching for success. This workshop will cover a wide range of skills and pedagogy necessary to any new teacher, including lesson planning, creating outcomes based learning objectives, a basic introduction to pedagogy and the scholarship of teaching & learning, and more as time allows, delivered in an active, engaging manner by fellow expert art librarian teachers. Workshop participants will work individually and in groups to explore the content, and will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience creating their own learning objectives and lesson plans. Workshop participants will also learn about ways to manage teaching anxiety, tips for communicating with faculty, and will have a basic introduction to curriculum mapping as it benefits a program of instruction at their institution. This workshop will require some pre-work and readings.
