Standard III: Collaboration & Leadership
School library media candidates provide leadership and establish connections with the greater library and education community to create school library media programs that focus on students learning and achievement; encourage the personal and professional growth of teachers and other educators, and model the efficient and effective use of information and ideas.
Reflection:
The article summaries are evidence of my desire to be a life-long learner. Being educated on current trends and research based practices will allow me to develop a media center that is fitting for my 21st century learners. I have applied strategies and ideas gained from the articles in the classroom and throughout my practicum experience.
I have designed two screencasts, one on how to create educational CDs using iTunes and one on how to use an instructional technology program at my school called AIMSweb. The visual component of screencasts and the ability to easily share the information, is a great way to provide professional learning experiences to staff members. As a School Media Specialist, it is very important to share information in a variety of ways.
I have developed a Personal Learning Network (PLN) that is evidence of my continued quest to grow professionally. A School Library Media Specialist should have an evident love for learning. This love of learning should be a professional disposition and should be apparent to students and staff members.
