My principal has asked me to "explore how things are done in other
districts". Our school has over 950 students pre-k to grade 5. The
library is the 5th special in the prep coverage time for teachers. I
currently teach a fixed schedule for grades 2-5 with a student intern
planned to cover grades k & 1 for next year. He is exploring the
possibility of dropping the fixed class for kindergarten to allow time
for the intern to co-teach with me for the older grades. He still
wants the kindergarten classes to have access to check out books. The
kindergarten is a half day program.
Any suggestions as to how your large schools handle this?
There is no assistant, either - parent volunteers are going to be
recruited to work the circulation desk.
