Abstract
Given the metacognitive nature of the self-assessment strategies within the Standards for the 21st-Century Learner (AASL, 2007), it is imperative to consider the readiness of the school librarian community to teach these skills to students. Previous findings of school librarians' knowledge of metacognition and metacognitive teaching strategies found participants have an overall understanding of teaching metacognition, but hold gaps in procedural and conditional knowledge of teaching metacognition (Authors, 2012). The main purpose of this study was to evaluate how school librarian knowledge of metacognition is applied in their teaching through interviews and teaching observations. Preliminary findings indicate this sample of school librarians encourage students to use metacognitive skills to plan, monitor, and evaluate their learning processes.
