Starting the Year-
Part of working as a Library Media Teacher in a large district is to be able to create a dual vision. First, there is the local vision of how to promote literacy among your own students and staff to support their academic goals, and then there is the second broader vision of how your efforts support the district-wide objectives and goals.

It is every LMT’s desire to share effective programs with the other libraries in the district. It is important to create a degree of equity within the district so that students at each school have access to similar opportunities and programs; but how do you promote these services across the district when there are sites that for many reasons seem to be low performing organizations and are unable to create buy in for new programs? Sites whose staff responses often seems to be, “I do not think that would work here.”

Share your ideas, react to the controversy, but get involved and add your handprint to our virtual library wall. 

Welcome to our librarywalls blog. Taking a fresh look at school library services is one way to creatively administer services and minister to students and staff. We do not spend enough time on these two endeavors; we are too busy managing the library. Here you can stop by and learn to manage your vision so you can become a better administrator of quality library services. Enjoy your time here, and being away from your desk.
