Spread the Word

Evidence of library media skill activities that take place!

     After hearing a presentation this June at the GLMA Summer Institute I realized how important it was to document what I do and then spread the word.  I went to another presentation at RESA this fall and Janelle McClure emphasized that point again.  That is one reason I write this blog.  I was trying to figure out a way to let teachers know what I do during the library media time (besides check out books).  The teachers know (mostly) what I do with their students, but are not aware of what I do on other grade levels.  I needed to change the bulletin boards outside the library media center so I decided to put evidence of student work in the hallway.  Students like to see their work as well, so it was a win-win.  Imagine my surprise when our head of school (principal) stopped in the hall, looked at the bulletin board and said she was making note of it for part of my evaluation.  That wasn't the whole reason I did it, but hey... if you won't blow your horn, who will?
