spaces for silent reading.

Short Term Objectives

Description of Evaluation

Objective 1a. For our handicapped students

there is a necessity to make the entrance way
more accessible as well as make sure there
are desk that accommodate wheelchairs, gait
trainers, seating systems, walkers and other
positioning devices.

Evaluation 1a. SLMS will collaborate with teachers

and determine the immediate need for changes
based off of student records, IEPs, educational
progress, etc. Once a year, at the beginning of the
school year, this collaboration will take place to
make sure every student has whatever
accommodations they need.

Objective 1b. Begin weeding nonfiction and

fiction sections following the CCBOE
Collections Policy on pg.30 of the Media
Handbook.

Evaluation 1b. SLMS will run circulation and history

reports from the Destiny system on all nonfiction
and fiction books in the library. Books that have not
circulated (checked-out) in five years will be
discarded. This will allow several bookcases to be
removed and/or repurposed. Complete weeding of
books should take approximately three to four
months.

Objective 1c. Re-arrange, re-purpose, and/or

discard bookcases to create new spaces for
students.

Objective 1d. New areas will be added to the

media center. These spaces will include
multiple silent reading areas and collaboration
areas for small and large groups as well as

Evaluation 1c. The current setup of the bookcases

take up the majority of the space in the library, and
the length of the bookcases make it difficult for
students in wheelchairs to navigate around them.
The bottom shelf on every bookcase is also not
being utilized for shelving books. Therefore, the
amount of bookcases that are currently in place are
not needed to shelve books. Some bookcases will
be repurposed for student centers, while others will
be available to teachers for classroom use.
Evaluation 1d. SLMS will investigate options for

assess the preference of tech devices to
include iPads, E-Readers, and Chromebooks.

Evaluation 2a. SLMS will create a survey in which

Evaluation 2b. SLMS will recruit teachers,

administrators, students, and parents to become a

Objective 2c. The committee will research

different resources for funds to obtain these
devices for students including book fairs,
fundraisers, grants and proposals.

Evaluation 2c. The committee will look at different

devices, budget sources such as funding, donors,
and grant proposals to purchase the devices, and
research the success of other schools in obtaining
devices.

Objective 3a. Survey teachers to assess the

specific technology and resource needs.

Evaluation 3a. SLMS will create a PLN survey for

teachers. This survey will determine tools,
resources, trainings, and requested materials that
teachers have been requested by teachers for
general and specific needs.

Objective 3b. Virtual Space: Develop and

maintain a virtual PLN that is easily accessible
and user friendly to teachers.

Evaluation 3b. The SLMS will create and maintain a

PLN that will host a variety of resources; tutorials,

Objective 4b. Based on the results of the

survey, SLMS will determine the focus of
collaboration and co-teaching with teacher

Evaluation 4b. Teachers that are interested in

collaborating with the SLMS will provide a needs
assessment to the SLMS in order to determine
What areas students are struggling with and how
the SLMS can provide assistance to the teachers in
a collaborative lesson

Objective 4c. Based on the results of the

survey, the SLMS will facilitate the organization
of collaboration times as well as collaborative
lessons with teachers by using an
asynchronous shared calendar.

Evaluation 4c. Using the Outlook or Google

moments of reprieve
Inputting information in a planning template
that will allow everyones input to be shared
and passed around until the template is
satisfied by all
Creating a collaborative curriculum unit plan
