What is collaboration?
“Collaboration is the process of shared creation: two or more individuals with complementary skills interacting to create a shared understanding that none had previously possessed or could have come to on their own.”
(Fullen 1993)
Why collaborate with the LMS?
“Recently, a study of collaboration indicated that test scores were directly impacted in relationship to the degree to which library media specialists and classroom teachers worked together.”
(Lance 2003)

How can the LMS support you with your SIP and SLOs?
Our SIP Goal: “As a collaborative community of students, staff and parents, we will foster a learning environment driven by high expectations which provide opportunities for learning that ensure engagement, excitement and enrichment through respect for all cultures and build relationships between the community, staff and students.”

“The library staff is informed about lesson goals, its expected outcomes, its due date, and the criteria
for assessment.”
