The FOSIL Group

Reality is what we have to deal with - success is dealing with it (Dallas Willard). Dealing with a reality in which the school library is peripheral to education, at best. Working on one in which it is integral. Doing this for those who must deal with the reality we leave them.

Thank you @CILIPSLG for supporting this event - 150+ colleagues from around the world & steadily counting - which will be recorded for registered participants. Brief contextual details of the inspirational & aspirational presenters can be found here <tinyurl.com/yptucfzh>.

@smithsmm @f33lthesun @Mat_at_Brookes @PaulWat5 @Stickforamoon @MrsCSpence @RobCrossley4 @redgierob @jonnybid @GreystoneKids @BIGPictureBooks And I love the Iguanadon's Horn - it is just the perfect book for inquiring minds. @TheFosilGroup

It’s been an amazing picturebook year so far. Here are my favourite 24 so far #FavePicturebooks24 #PicturebookPage

@LibraryatEA Thank you for sharing this, and for your encouragement.

@libraryWallace @Elizabethutch Thanks, Emma. Interesting & important questions. I have Laurel Clyde's survey of school library history (1981), which covers America, Australia & UK, so will look. Also working on INSET on Academic Integrity with reference to AI, which will pick up on points in last podcast.

@Elizabethutch @TheFosilGroup - why did AUS in comparison come to have Teacher Librarians? - what does their training involve ? - why don't UK MLIS courses have any teaching skills for librarians included? (I'm guessing because their is zero mention of school librarianship as a career route ?)

@Elizabethutch @RuthMaloney30 @RHusk4 @WyrmbergSabrina It seems like yesterday that we first discussed this podcast series, and we’ve touched on so many topics since then - it will be very interesting and rewarding to reflect on them in the light of questions from colleagues.

@Elizabethutch Thanks, Elizabeth. I meant to add, before we ran out of time, that @uksla has actively supported development of #FOSILinquiry & work of the FOSIL Group since 2019 - see the section about inquiry on their new website, which I will help to develop further <tinyurl.com/43anz6hh>.

@Elizabethutch Very interesting and exciting! We've made good progress with identifying / adapting graphic organisers for the priority skills, which I will share later this week. I've also updated the Year 9 Signature Work topic with an important graphic organiser <tinyurl.com/mrypyyby>.
