Here is what I want to do in this focus area: Help teachers implement technology/digital/meida literacy strategies in their classrooms and content areas as needed Help understand what 9-12 grade teachers want from digital resources and find ways to support their needs.

Here are my goals for this year in this focus area: Send out Digital Resource Highlights every month to all staff. These highlight digital resources, free and subscription based, that our library has, making sure to highlight something for each grade band. Listen to podcasts to support learning and staying current on library trends. Attend WEMTA Conference (March 6-8). Attend 3 CESA 5 training events related to Libraries and/or literacy.
