HESTL- Instruction

I applied for two HESTL credentials in the 24-25 school year. As a 20 year classroom teacher, I really love to create lessons that are engaging and meet all students needs. I have found through my first year as a DTL, I really enjoy supporting staff with tech integration in their classrooms as well. Designing a lesson plan, modeling, and co-teaching is one of my favorite parts of this role as a Digital Teacher Librarian.

HESTL- Environment

The second HESTL credential I applied for was Library Environment. This was something I worked very hard for. The library needed to become a space that students and staff wanted to work in. I wanted to offer many different types of learning spaces for everyone to feel welcome. I am very proud of how far the library has come this year.

HESTL- Planning

The HESTL Planning Credential is one that I really enjoyed working through and applying for. Focusing on my core values, our school UIP goals, students needs, staff needs, and community needs, I created a plan to develop this space over multiple years. The documents are working documents that can be modified and changed as needs of our school community change.

Interactive Displays

Secondary libraries across the district are struggling with students reading for pleasure. While meeting with a DTL lead, we discussed creating an interactive display to grab students attention. This project was mostly student generated and created. They picked the books to display and helped choose all of the photos to use. Students became engaged with this display and had a lot of fun designing it. They are already working on designing a second interactive display to pull more students in.
