When you have true collaboration with your teachers, it is the most ideal situation for your students and your teachers. I think most everyone knows that. There are many different ways librarians can collaborate with their staff. If you are just beginning and trying to get teachers to collaborate with you, one way to start if with books.
If you can provide books for students and teachers for teachers to use is just one way to start the process. Books can go to the classroom or stay in the library, depending on where the class will meet,
Books can be on display or for use to support teacher units. Books can be used to help with project research, fact finding, or extended information, or further enrichment/ engagement. They can be used to expand on units studied.
If teachers or students need books you don't have, many librarians can do inter library loan to get them. If I have book requests from teachers for units, I usually put them on the purchase list for the following year, if I know they will do the unit the next year. I also keep lists of books that go with units so I have it the next year.
