18/19 Evidence &Reflection

Objective 1

By the end of the 2018/19 school year our staff will increase the flexible use of media center space from 0 times per week to 5 times per week to foster student competency in the 4C's as measured by a school wide schedule/calendar.

Evidence & Reflection

Evidence

• The SLMC created a Google Calendar and Google Form for staff to use to reserve space in the Media Center, which was shared with staff at a staff meeting on February 26, 2019, and linked in the SLMC's email signature.
• One request was made prior to the creation of the Calendar and Form. A 3rd grade teacher brought her class to specifically pick out a literary classic to read, which occurred during the same time that Media Specials were happening with another grade level.
• Three additional requests were made using the form.

Reflections

• We did not meet our goal.
• The Calendar and Form were shared too late in the year to gain traction. We will share this information at the beginning of next school year.
• By 4th Quarter most teachers are gearing up for end of year things, like EOG's and not planning research projects.
• Our school is lucky to have additional flex space throughout the school that is currently being used. As our population grows and empty classrooms are filled, teachers may be more likely to use the Media Center for extra learning space.
• Our school also has an abundance of resources in our classrooms by way of almost 1:1 devices for digital resources and print resources from the new ELA curriculum.
• We brainstormed other reasons to use the Media Center for flexible space - small groups working independently (grades 4-5), small groups working with IA's or volunteers.

Objective 2

Over the Course of the 2018-19 school year, our MTAC will strengthen our knowledge of the data privacy focus area for our school so that we are confident in our knowledge and understanding and are prepared to share with staff and students in the 2019-20 school year.
