Librarian researchers partnered with a university laboratory school to promote digital literacies to teachers through a community of practice using a librarian-teacher framework.Pre-and posttest surveys determined changes in digital literacy skills by school faculty and staff over one school year.Descriptive statistics indicate a positive change in faculty and staff familiarity with and use of digital content.Subgroup comparisons demonstrate large effect sizes for teacher familiarity with digital content by education level and position on the faculty.Administrative support at the school and university levels was vital in laying a solid foundation for this collaboration to develop and embed digital literacies into classroom instruction with expectations to foster growth in subsequent phases. Engaging Community in Practice: Librarians and Teachers Embracing Knowledge and Use of Digital Literacies and MediaCommunities of practice initiated by school librarians with teachers foster a supportive environment for sharing knowledge, expertise and resources.Through such communities, librarians and teachers can exchange ideas, strategies, and best practices for integrating information literacy skills and resources into the curriculum.This collaboration enhances instruction, promotes professional growth, and ultimately benefits students by providing them with richer learning experiences.
