The Media Specialist as an Instructional Partner
Information Literacy Lesson Plan
The information literacy lesson plan gave me the opportunity to analyze data to find an area of weakness among students at my school based on information literacy, collaborate with another teacher, and play the role of the media specialist as an instructional partner. The lesson focuses on students in the third grade using inquiry based research to develop a brochure on one of the regions of Georgia. I used assessments throughout to monitor student learning. I also used self-assessment strategies, such as daily reflections, to help students monitor their own information-seeking process.

Technology Integration Plan
The Technology Integration unit is an example of the School Library Media Specialist as an Instructional Partner. The Understanding by Design lesson focuses on students in 3rd grade developing their addition and subtraction skills and applying them in problem solving. I used an in depth learner analysis to develop a lesson that uses performance tasks, motivational strategies, and authentic assessments throughout.
