Senior Library & Junior Library

Senior Library

The senior library in Symbiosis International School is potentially a central link for promoting and facilitating effective teaching and learning across the curriculum. It provides attention on the MYP personal project and the DP Extended Essay introducing the students to enhanced critical, creative and analytical thinking. Additionally, providing insights on research and citation skills and by producing related knowledge products, which are often web-based (such as guides to citation and bibliography construction). Providing a live collection of past essays is a powerful tool for students facing a daunting academic challenge, while additional support takes in everything up and including help with the abstract-writing requirement.

Junior Library

The PYP library serves as the resource hub for the entire learning and teaching community and promotes a life-long love of reading. PYP library provides a balanced collection of resources that reflect and represent the diverse learning styles, cultures, beliefs and mother tongue languages of students within the school, promote and support the development of learner agency, Approaches to learning skills, International mindedness, the IB learner profile, and PYP attitudes and concepts.

The library is a centre for each facilitator to collaborate and plan their unit and the teacher librarian assists them in curating resources for their units of inquiry. PYP Teacher Librarian also collaborates with Homeroom facilitators to guide learners to connect the attributes of IB learner profile, approaches to learning skills and concepts to their Units of Inquiry through stories and other reflection activities. Sometimes facilitators plan their learning engagements to be conducted in the Library through a gallery walk or display, they also work with the ICT department and use technology tools to sharpen the students’ understanding.

With technology finding its way to the hands of our children, it is important to teach them Digital Citizenship(Common Sense Media Guidelines) as a part of library classes.
