Last week, I was at our county-wide Media Coordinator meeting. We spent a great deal of time discussing the upcoming school year, including our district's focus for Media Coordinators. Our goals for the 2017-2018 school year are...
Basically it's a ton of support. Which I'm super excited about! I love working with classroom teachers and helping them be the best they can be for our students. During our meeting, I realized that some Media Coordinators in the room were not as excited about this. They are firm believers that they should be in the library, doing library things, all the time. While I think that being in the library is an important piece of my job, I do not think that's all a Media Coordinator should be doing any more. Librarians have always been a link to information - whether it's through a book or a digital resource. As our world changes, I think it's more important than ever for Media Centers to reflect this. We need to be out in the school, being ambassadors of proper learning and research. I'm grateful to be in a school where I am supported and valued. I love being challenged and work hard to be an integral part of our school. Because the Media Center should be the heart of the school, and I'm proud to be in charge of that.
