Mel Cooper

Secondary Teacher Librarian, Renaissance College

A seasoned international educator with over two decades across Southeast Asia, Mel Cooper has spent the past four years inspiring inquiry and integrity as the Secondary Teacher Librarian at Renaissance College Hong Kong. As an IB presenter, she has led sessions on everything from collection development and academic honesty to ATL research skills that are practical workshops that can be applied directly to educators practice. Passionate about all literacies—information, digital, media, and even the delightfully old-fashioned linguistic kind—Mel Cooper now explores how artificial intelligence can empower all learners, especially those who think and learn differently.
