Participates in setting the school district's vision and strategic plan for digital learning and fosters a culture of collaboration and innovation to empower teachers and learners.  Uses budgets to leverage equity and collaboration to improve learning outcomes for each student.

Current Practices & Artifacts

• Library Media Specialists attend building staff meetings, participate and communicate library goals.

• Library Plan is aligned to District Goals. 

• Collaborates on instruction with teachers when opportunities become available; actively seeks collaborative relationships at meetings and via email and during summer PD.

• Libraries are supportive of equitable learning for all.

Possible Areas for Growth

• Become active participants with teaching teams and departments in building and district PLCs and other district committees.

• Develop SPSD Libraries or Elementary and Secondary monthly newsletter to inform on how the Library can support instruction.

• Initiate and help coordinate the District in becoming a Future Ready School.

• Actively pursue collaborative opportunities with MORE teachers throughout our buildings.

2024-2025 Target Goal(s):

1) Library Media Specialists will add information to the school staff newsletter at least quarterly throughout the school year.
