New Faculty Training
New faculty arrive at Asheville High and SILSA every year. A large effort goes into getting everyone on the same page. From how to use email and google drive to the digital grade books and attendance, there is a steep learning curve when new teachers arrive. The Media and Technology staff worked closely with faculty to make sure they can efficiently do their jobs.
Curating Resources
The Media and Technology staff connect the dots between curriculum, learning styles and abilities, and print/multi-media/web resources that meet the evolving needs of students and teachers. We use our knowledge of the curriculum, project-based learning, student and teacher input, school demographics, reviews, and collection development principles to curate the most useful resources for AHS and SILSA. The resource collection includes peer-reviewed articles for classes; lesson plan ideas; graduation project topic resources; high-interest books for student-selected reading; relevant databases based on curriculum needs; and an extensive, user-friendly, curriculum-based EBook collection.
Total 2022-23 book circulations: 5,474
Collection Development is Important
