Rowan Integrated Class Work Sessions & Orientations
The LRC-South offers Rowan professors a unique opportunity to enhance their students' preservice experience through our LRC-South Integrated Class Work Sessions and Orientations.
Orientations are available in two formats - in-person or online. We encourage faculty to schedule orientations early in the semester so students are aware of the services and resources available to them at the LRC-South. The online orientation is available at the bottom of this page.
Integrated class work sessions provide students with the opportunity to engage directly with LRC-South library resources and production materials as part of their coursework. These sessions are scheduled by the course professor and typically take place in the LRC-South PD Room during regular class meeting times. Integrated class sessions do not include an LRC-South staff-led orientation. Students should complete an orientation (in-person or online) and create or renew their LRC-South membership prior to your class session.
Please note: Professors are required to remain with their students during in-person orientations and integrated class sessions.
Please review the in-person options below and complete the appropriate form.
To complete an online orientation, please continue to the bottom of this page.
Integrated Class Work Session
Rowan professors are invited to conduct an integrated LRC-South work session with their students, providing a unique opportunity for students to directly engage with LRC-South resources and materials as part of their coursework and lesson planning. These sessions typically take place in the LRC-South PD Room during regular class meeting times.
Professors are encouraged to design their class work sessions with specific assignments or goals related to course objectives. We highly recommend that professors visit the center or browse our online Researcher to discover library books and materials to use as part of your lesson. During your class session, professors and students are encouraged to use resources in both the library and the production center to design lessons and create learning activities. LRC-S staff will be available to assist as needed.
Integrated class sessions do not include an LRC-South staff-led orientation. Students should complete an orientation (in-person or online) and create or renew their LRC-South membership prior to your class session.
PRE-SERVICE CONNECTION: Professors may also utilize the LRC-South's Think-Tac-Toe Boards as a class activity to help students make a correlation between LRC-South resources and their individual course and/or classroom experience. Topics include Assistive Technology, AI Chatbots, Early Childhood, and In the Classroom.
