Section VII: Planning For The Future and References

Section VII: Planning for the Future and References
Part A: Long Range Goals
Goal 1:
The goal is to design the media center so that it has a coffee shop theme that promotes
leisure, technology, and collaboration.
Rationale:
The survey results indicated 45.5% of the teachers and students visited the media center to
simply check out books. While only 9% of those surveyed, indicated they visited the media
center for other reasons. Therefore, changing the environment to a coffee shop theme will
motivate teachers and students to spend time in the media center daily reading, researching, and
working on class assignments. The American Association of School Librarians (2009) indicates
pleasure reading and learning is the core of the school library program, where independent
reading is valued, promoted, and encouraged.
In fact, Johnson (2013) states not all students are comfortable in our classrooms and hallways.
Bored in classes, intimidated in common areas, these kids need a place where they are welcome,
safe, and valued. The library above all else creates a program that serves students who are
diverse-socially, economically, culturally, and academically (p. 9). The climate Wayne County
High School media center nurtures is that of a cozy and inviting space that fosters a love of
reading. Again, survey results indicated the media specialist must market the usefulness of the
media center for all stakeholders. The media specialist must collaborate with teachers to
determine how he/she could help meet the needs of teachers and students. Johnson (2013) goes
on to explain if the media center provides resources, facilities, and learning opportunities that are
more suitable to the students and the students have a genuine appreciation for them and what
they offer, the media center will be valued by the next generation.
Goal 2:
The school librarian markets the media center and develops a brand for the media center
to accomplish long range and short range goals. The AASL promotes in Empowering
Learners that the school librarian should create opportunities to involve stakeholders in
reading. Also, to create an environment where independent reading is valued, promoted,
and encouraged (2009).
Rationale:
According to Johnson, teachers, administrators, and parents are made aware of the changing
roles of their librarians, (2013, p. 13). Marketing the media center is a key ingredient to make
this happen. By involving all stakeholders, librarians create the feeling of ownership and gain
buy-in of key members of the community for the school library program. According to LaGarde
(2013), only 10% of regular marketing reach the stakeholders. Librarians must be creative in the
ways to reach the students, parents, teachers, administration, other librarians, and members of the
community and bring them into the media center. One way to do this is to bring the media center
out to the students. Promote reading by putting books and technology on display during lunches
so that students and teachers can see what the media center has to offer.
Part of marketing the media center is providing the technology and the space that will allow
students to develop the 21st century skills. To be able to do this an AASL Guideline from
Empowering Learners can be applied: The school library program has sufficient funding to
support priorities and make steady progress to attain the programs mission, goals, and
objectives, (p. 35). This aligns with Wayne County High Schools mission statement: All
students at Wayne County High School will earn a meaningful high school diploma. It is the
librarians responsibility to provide students with the best high school learning experience. By
encouraging activities like STEM, and a Book Club the librarian can create an environment that
encourages reading and learning with technology. To bridge the digital divide, librarians must
make it a priority to find funds to provide students with access to technology that they may not
have at home. This can be accomplished by writing grants, fundraisers, and actively searching
out donations from the community; thus meeting guidelines from Empowering Learners to seek
additional funding from different resources.
The long range goal is to add another classroom to the media center. This will allow more than
one class at a time to use the resources available. The outdoor classroom can be funded by
fundraisers developed by marketing the media center and with public buy-in perhaps E-splost
can be used for part of the construction. With an outdoor classroom, teachers and students would
still be able to use mobile technology and wireless internet provided by the media center. This
would also give students the opportunity to get outside and enjoy the outdoors while learning.
Our environment at the school is restrictive, because students rarely go outside the building
during the school day. This media center classroom would provide both the need for more space
in the media center and for student moral.
The school librarian must justify to stakeholders how much money the library is given by the
state, money from fund raisers, and donations and how this money is spent. Also, by involving
the school library committee the librarian can justify spending by having their support.
According to AASLs Empowering Learners, a librarian should create a budget, justify spending,
and make this public. Also, we should justify spending with research based evidence.
Goal 3
The library media program provides students and staff with the necessary 21st century
skills to be effective and ethical users of information and technology.
Rationale:
According to AASLs Empowering Learners (2009), the school library program should
include support for school librarian and teacher professional development to sustain and
increase knowledge and skills (p. 43) Professional development is important for all faculty and
staff so they can learn about emerging changes in education and technology. The media
specialist should work collaboratively with faculty and staff to create a professional development
plan that focuses on improving student achievement (AASL, 2009, p. 43). The Library
Advisory Committee will be responsible for creating this professional development plan. The
Library Advisory Committee will survey the faculty and staff to get an idea of the types of
professional development they would like to participate in. According to Johnson (2013), having
library users complete surveys is an effective means of collecting information about the impact
of the library programs (p. 27). The media specialist should strive to attend as much
professional learning as possible so she can share new materials to faculty and staff. As the new
material is shared, the media should strive to provide staff with opportunities for participatory,
hands-on learning (AASL, 2009, p. 43).
According to the Stakeholder Survey administered to teachers, there are several areas of
professional development that the teachers would like to see. Thirty-seven percent of the
respondents would like training on new Web 2.0 tools that would be beneficial in the classroom.
Twenty-seven percent of the respondents would like training on Google Drive and Google
Classroom. Twenty-seven percent of the respondents would like training on collaboration
techniques to use with students involving technology. Nine percent of the respondents would
like training on developing classroom blogs for student use. These topics will be a starting point
for beginning a professional development schedule.
The Stakeholder Survey also revealed that 36% of the respondents either have not
observed or disagree with the following statement: The library media program provides students
and staff with the necessary 21st century skills to be effective and ethical users of information
and technology. According to AASLs Empowering Learners (2009), the mission of the school
library program is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information
(p. 8). The media specialist should empower students to be critical thinkers, enthusiastic
readers, skillful researchers, and ethical users of information (AASL, 2009, p. 8). Since onethird of the respondents have not observed or do not believe the library media program is
providing these skills to students and teachers, it is essential for the media specialist to provide
the staff with professional learning in the area of 21st century skills. The media specialist will
also need to conduct 21st century skills lessons with the students.
Goal 4: The school library program will work to build collaborative partnerships. In
accordance with Empowering Learners (2009), the school library program will promote
collaboration among members of the learning community.
Rationale:
A library advisory committee is essential in order to create a strong library media
program that is data and goal oriented. The media committee will be involved in the planning
process which should be done annually and purposefully. Once the library committee is formed,
the media committee will meet three to four times a year to discuss, evaluate, and create the
goals for the media center. The committee will meet at the beginning of the year to develop the
stakeholder survey and review annual goals of the media center. The second meeting will be used
to discuss feedback from the stakeholder survey. The committee will meet again to ensure the
goals of the media center as well as the feedback from the survey results are being met. Lastly,
the committee will meet at the end of the year to assess the goals met and formulate new goals
for the upcoming year. According to Johnson, input from these committee meetings should be
used to modify, reprioritize, and/or add to the annual objectives, (Johnson, 2013, p. 41).
Johnson declares that getting valuable input from other professionals and community members
will give the school the annual reality check it needs to determine areas of importance.
Johnson also states that the media specialist should conduct few, but important, meetings,
meeting three to four times a year (Johnson, 2013, p. 42).
Collaborative partnerships should be at the forefront of the school library media program.
According to the AASL, Empowering Learners (2009), the school library program should
promote collaboration among the members of the learning community. According to data
received via the Stakeholders Survey, 45.5% of teachers stated collaborative efforts would
increase if they had access to a predetermined list of co-teaching lessons to choose from. In an
effort to increase collaboration, the media committee will work to develop a list of pre-designed
lessons for teachers to choose from. Additionally, the media center will work to increase
collaboration by having a Google calendar available for collaborative lessons and co-teaching
times in the library. The media specialist will attend grade-level PLCs to determine the type of
co-teaching lessons that should be made available. The above actions will allow the school
library program to act as an extension of the classroom.
The media specialist will work closely with administrators to promote, support, and
implement collaboration effectively. In an effort to promote collaboration, the media specialist
will create a monthly newsletter to discuss upcoming events and possible collaborations. The
newsletters will be shared among the learning community of teachers and administrators.
Interactive displays will be used throughout the media center to encourage reading and co-
teaching options. For example, a Banned Books week display could attract the attention of
teachers and encourage a co-teaching activity including either an informational or persuasive
writing.
A Google calendar will be created for the media center to promote a flexible schedule
conducive of collaboration. This will allow the teachers to sign up for computer labs and
designated co-teaching opportunities without having to remember to stop by the media center to
sign up. To evaluate the effectiveness of this scheduling method, the media specialist will survey
teachers to see if they like the Google calendar option for reserving computer labs and coteaching times. Additionally, the media specialist will see if more training is needed on Google
Drive.

Part D: Advocacy
Communicating the school librarys strategic plan to all stakeholders is very important.
All stakeholders need to be aware of the goals and objectives of the school library program.
They also need to know what the school library program is doing to help the school and student
achievement. The media specialist has identified the audience as the principal, the staff, parents
and guardians, and the community. The librarys strategic plan will be hand delivered to the
school principal at the beginning of each school year. The strategic plan will be placed on the
schools website and the media centers website. At the beginning of each school year, a
newsletter will be sent to all staff members and parents/guardians to inform them of the location
of the strategic plan on the schools website and the media centers website. In order to inform
the community of the strategic plan, the media specialist will present the plan at various service
organizations and/or community meetings, such as school board meetings, Rotary meetings,
Lions Club meetings, city council meetings, etc. The media specialist will plan to schedule these
presentations with the organizations close to the beginning of the school year.
The media specialist will also have scheduled communications with the principal, staff,
parents and guardians. As recommended by Johnson (2013), a bimonthly principals report (p.
45) will be given to the principal to keep them informed of all activities of the media center and
media specialist. The report should include new resources and how they are being used,
professional development attended or administered, circulation statistics, teacher and media
specialist collaboration, and problems or concerns. The report will be sent to the principal and
then a follow-up face-to-face meeting will be scheduled. In order to communicate with staff, the
media specialist will create a monthly newsletter. To preserve paper, the newsletter will be emailed to all staff members at the beginning of each month. The newsletter will include a list of
newly acquires resources, a highlight of a particular library service, collaborative lessons taught
with other teachers to encourage collaboration, and other information deemed important. A
similar newsletter will be created for parents and guardians. The newsletter will be produced
monthly in the middle of each month. It will be sent home with all students and it will also be
placed on the schools website as well as the media centers website. The newsletter will include
a list of newly acquired book titles, newly acquired technology, technology tips, literacy tips, and
upcoming events.
