Goal 1: In order to be at work 95% of the time to ensure my students are successful, I will take time to care for myself physically and mentally, including asking for support when needed.

Family/Travel
Family/Travel
I adore traveling. When I was despairing of working with a budget at home, I began working extra hours. Any extra pay went into our vacation fund. Ever since that time, I have never minded picking up an extra job or duty. Our first major vacation was to Scotland and Ireland, one of my very favorite trips. Peru (Rainbow Mt. above) was amazing, and I look forward to heading to Canada next summer!
Kickboxing
Kickboxing
Kickboxing is something I do for fun and to keep a healthy body. It's a wonderful way to relieve stress and also feel strong and empowered. I am in the process of becoming an instructor at my gym as this is one of my passions.

Team
Team
After teaching music in isolation for a number of years, I worked with an amazing specialist team at Lake Myra ES that taught me the value of a strong, collaborative team for support. It is our team's goal to advocate for an assistant back in the library. Being busy is wonderful, but we would like to be able to sustain and grow our program.
Goal 2: As a team, we will communicate what the Library Media program offers and share how the it benefits our students and staff.

Twitter
I use Twitter as a professional outlet so it is the perfect place to promote the cool products, events, resources and more that our library program supports.
The Media Technology Training Team is a strong, diverse team that advises the Leadership Team on media/tech purchases and trainings. We gather information from staff to make sure that our program is meeting the needs of students and staff alike.
Goal 3: We will regularly provide professional learning for staff and instruction for students regarding digital portfolios, literacy, and resources/tech.

Digital Portfolios
Digital Portfolios
Digital portfolios are a balanced means of assessment for teachers but a powerful tool for self-advocacy for students. For our Library Media Studies students, digital portfolios have truly made our assessment meaningful both in and out of the library.

Literacy
Literacy
Promoting literacy is a primary tenet of any library and KHSCD is no exception. We work hard to make sure that we have a culture of literacy where high school students and staff alike embrace reading.

Providing regular tech training is tricky but we are working with our Digital Learning Coordinators to offer voluntary tech training on Tuesdays, once per month.
