School District of Jefferson Library Media Plan

SDoJ Logo

Welcome!

Our District libraries are proud to work collaboratively with students, the school staff, the Jefferson community and public library in supporting every student in their educational journey. As a community effort, we have developed a Long Range Plan to meet the needs of the students, staff, and community. To best meet our current needs and adapt to future changes, the plan will remain fluid within its components and execution within the schools. 

Introduction and Purpose

Future Ready Framework

Future Ready Libraries

As the Jefferson School District moves forward with the Future Ready framework to guide key decisions and address areas of strength and growth, the library program remains an important aspect of the process. Within the Future Ready movement, specific goals and responsibilities have been incorporated exclusively with the library program. This inclusion as a key factor in the Future Ready School reflects the firm belief in the school library program and space as a hub for the entire learning community: student, staff, and community members.

To develop this Long Range Plan, we assessed each of the wedges seen above, framed within the District Goals. The analysis indicates several areas of strength and collaborative leadership already present, as well as areas of growth to focus on. To best meet these areas for growth and continuously address the District Goals as they change, each year the district librarians will reassess programming and resource allocation to develop or strengthen current initiatives. 

Our plan addresses current initiatives, plans for growth, and potential future directions for each of the focus areas highlighted in the wheel above. These focus areas, or wedges, each provide a unique lens to examine how the library program empowers learners to leverage multiple literacies in effectively learning and sharing their knowledge in authentic and powerful ways. Click on each wedge to view how the current library program addresses this area.
