This year I am officially expanding my direct teaching services to one of our remote campuses. For the past year I have been teaching library class at one of our campuses. This fall I will start offering weekly classes at a second campus. So this month, I did a meet and greet with the teachers at that campus to better understand their student needs.

Since becoming involved with the Educational Technology Advisory Board, I have noticed that many staff would benefit from participating in technology focused professional development. Since I am the only librarian for five schools, I have decided that one of my goals is to empower teachers to become their own “junior librarians”.  I hope to continue to develop and present on topics such as technology use in the classroom, intimation literacy and other topics to arm teachers with their own set of library tools. This month, I developed a presentation to outline the use of technology in the classroom and shared literacy resources during teacher orientation. 

In preparation for next month’s author visit, I coordinated with residential staff to host a book club for students. I was not able to participate in the book club, but the reports from residential staff were very positive. I think students are really looking forward to meeting the Ghetto Cowboy author, G. Neri!
