Learning Commons Staff Support
Aberfoyle PS Learning Commons
Learning Commons staff at UGDSB are supported by the central team at TJRC to operate and manage their school Learning Commons spaces, collections, and service offerings.
In addition to maintaining a virtual learning environment, the TJRC team fields inquiries from UGDSB staff about anything and everything related to school Learning Commons. From selecting new resources, to teaching digital literacy skills, to collaborating with educators - all questions are welcome.
"The school library program supports student success across the curriculum by encouraging students to read widely... and helping them improve their research skills and effectively use information gathered through research."
