How others see us....

We've had many conversations in our classes about perceptions our colleagues hold about media specialists. But I don't think we've ever focused on the concept of learning specialists. What does that phrase mean to you? How might use of that label help us achieve our mission in the school?

Beginning with the Mission

In these times of economic uncertainty, it seems like it would be more important than ever to ensure that your media program has a mission that clearly aligns with the mission of your school AND that your colleagues are aware of this mission.

Is anybody in a school where that kind of mission exists today?

What steps would you take to create such a mission?

Question Wall

As you read Librarians as Learning Specialists post questions you have about how to put the ideas in the book into practice in this area.
