Our Media Center will assist students in selection of reading materials for curricular, personal, and leisure needs with an understanding of reading levels, interest levels, and curriculum in mind. Integrating technology into the curriculum makes learning rigorous and engaging, preparing our students for the real world and career readiness. Hosting STEM and MAKER SPACE lessons in our center keeps our students at the forefront of 21st Century Skills while incorporating design thinking. We encourage reading and research skills in a flexible space, offering a diverse collection of reading material for differentiated learning.
The student centered library media program focuses on the development of a community of learners. A creative and energetic program includes the following goals:
To provide intellectual access to information through learning activities that are integrated into the curriculum and that help all students achieve information literacy by developing effective strategies for selecting, retrieving, analyzing, evaluating, synthesizing, creating, and communicating information in all content areas of the curriculum.
To provide learning experiences that encourage students and others to become discriminating consumers and skilled creators of information through comprehensive instruction related to the full range of communications media and technology.
To provide leadership, collaboration, and assistance to teachers and others in applying principles of instructional design to the use of instructional and information technology for learning.
To provide a program that functions as the information center of the school, both through offering a locus for integrated and interdisciplinary learning activities within the school and through offering access to a full range of information for learning beyond this locus.
To provide resources and activities for learning that represents a diversity of experiences, opinion, and social and cultural perspectives.
