Program+Administration

Book check out is a most informative way to evaluate resources students and teachers currently use and determine what might be a valuable addition as statistics can be drawn from Destiny showing what is being used and what is not. We typically see all students at least every three weeks. Students ask for assistance in finding materials and suggest materials they wish we had in our school library. These suggestions help build our yearly order, and they also keep students checking out materials. Students use the suggestions provided through the scrolling announcements, booktalks, etc. to find materials. I also collaborate with the teachers to determine what levels and topics they want students selecting.

By being an active member of the leadership team and Media and Technology Advisory Committee (MTAC) I am able to keep my program alive. Through these platforms I have the ability monthly to discuss my needs after reviewing statistics from chechouts, usage, and curriculum meetings. I can ask for assistance and approval with my orders, and I can continue to encourage faculty to utilize the collaborative opportunities I can help them provide to their students, helping to create a media program that is organized, well-run, and effective at meeting user needs.

Curriculum Conversations are meetings between grade level teams that meet three times a month. Each week, I meet with each grade level during their planning periods as an advocate for my program, to learn what teachers are doing and how they are collaborating in their classrooms, to determine teacher needs, etc. I have spotlights throughout the year explaining new programs that I am starting in the media center, and I also use the teachers to develop book orders, needs assesments, etc. These different facets of these meetings allow me to evaluate my current center, collaborate with teachers to determine how I can best meet their needs, introduce new materials and technologies to them, and learn their goals and curriculums, all of whichi help me maintain a most effective media center.
