ABSTRACT

The classroom conference provides a robust process to enhance teaching and learning outcomes while being explicit about limits and boundaries and emphasising the importance of relationships. The conference is too useful a process to be used only for the resolution of wrongdoing. Classroom conferences establish a process that provides a link between curriculum and pedagogy and behaviour management. Our conference today will help us understand what is expected of us when we work in the library. These expectations include how we are to behave going into the library, when we work in the library, how we leave the library, how we treat the books and other resources in the library, how we need to cooperate with others who want to use the same resource and how we relate to each other in the library.
