I considered this my pretest. I presented the kids with a Prezi presentation and then had them do an activity to find a fiction book using the card I gave them.  This was to introduce the kids to the rules, explain the layout of the library, the resources we have available, and how to maneuver around the library independently. The activity required that every child go find a specific book I gave them a card for, and this assessment revealed that they could not locate a book of fiction in our library.]]> 2018-09-24 19:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285232556 tinbather https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285249113 Helped me think about my lesson plans and how to create meaningful lessons.]]> 2018-09-24 20:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285249113 tinbather https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285249535 I created a powerpoint in English that explained all the resources of the library (textbook availability, after school tutoring, printing, etc.). The women who works at or school as our liaison with our non-English/non-fluent speaking parents translated it into Spanish.

I have to attend monthly meetings and then bring back relevant information to the teachers. I sometimes have to hold elections and I am asked to present a 10 minute update to my fellow teachers at the beginning or end of faculty meetings.]]> 2018-09-24 20:12:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285249724 tinbather https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285251198 I have been on FAC (Faculty Advisory Committee) for about 8 years now. We are a committee of 7 and we receive concerns/issues from staff about staff issues so that we can then bring the issues to our principal. We meet once a month and then after we meet with the principal we write up a follow-up document to send out to the entire staff.]]> 2018-09-24 20:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285251198 tinbather https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285252533 One of our 7th grade teachers has her students do outside reading according to the genre she is studying. She asked me to make a mystery resources list so the kids were able to look through the mystery books that are at least 150 pages and not made into a movie.

I need to not only make sure that we are up-to-date with the collection for 6-12th grade students, but we are the hub for printing and need office supplies, printing supplies, as well as decorations for the library. I also hold meetings in the library and so have some hospitality items I need to purchase. The budget below shows how I spent the money from last year's budget.]]> 2018-09-24 20:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285254312 tinbather https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285261847 Creating my Future Ready Plan as well as the Vision Project helped me think about what is most important when creating my budget, the layout of my library, what I should focus on for the collection, etc. ]]> 2018-09-24 20:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285261847 tinbather https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285262569 WASC is visiting our school in the spring of 2019 and I have been assigned to work on the curriculum group. This is a collaboration with people from all over the campus, including teachers, security, nurse, and admin.  For suggestions and help we can refer to http://www.acswasc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Tasks-1-5-ACS-WASC-FOL-2016-1.pdf]]> 2018-09-24 20:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285262569 tinbather https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285262832 I meet with the District Librarians monthly. The district librarians feel that meeting only quarterly is not often enough to work together to be leaders in the district.  Part of the reason we meet only quarterly is the cost of subbing us out, but I want to fight for the funding to make this happen so we can be ahead of trends and share great ideas for programming, all while working towards the district's vision as well.]]> 2018-09-24 20:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285262832 tinbather https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285262918 Explain to the students that the district has filters so they don't go to inappropriate sites that might hurt their online presence. I used the Common Sense Media site for my lesson plan. These lessons are good for 9-12, with varying levels of relevancy as talking about jobs and how what they put out to the internet could come back to haunt them when they apply to college or look for a job if people who decide their acceptance look at the student's cyber profile.  This will be more interesting and relevant to older kids than a 9th grader, so we discuss it more at the upper grades. However, the parts about cyberbullying are relevant to all of the students, and so I share that part with all of them.

We work together on a variety of projects (tutoring, programming, The Wellness Center)  and we have volunteers who help run programs through the library (ex: a coding class the high schoolers ran teaching the middle schoolers to code).

I like to get the kids to participate in activities that make them review books they have read and to get them excited about possibly reading other books. Using social media or texting is usually a way to get kids to find it fun to engage.]]> 2018-09-25 00:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285295253 tinbather https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285638440 Collaborated with an 8th grade ELA teacher to organize books clubs with her students.  I purchased the books necessary when we did not have enough copies or there were kids that found a book they wanted to read but we didn't have any copies. The kids are going to meet in their groups (during classtime) when they are half-way through the book, then again at the end. I am going to be in the room with the teacher roaming around while they have these book groups.]]> 2018-09-25 16:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285638440 tinbather https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285639333 I was reading a magazine and they recommended the book The Hate U Give for teens. It is a book that deals with many African Americans' experience and how they have to fear the police, how they often have to be afraid to walk in their own neighborhoods, etc. I went on Amazing to order it and then stayed on the site for about an hour looking at the other books recommended, reading the reviews (especially the ones left by teens), then checked titles on Goodreads. In the end I had a decent list of books dealing with issues of interest to women, LGBT community, minorities, etc.
I am always looking for way to make our collection more diverse.]]> 2018-09-25 16:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285639333 tinbather https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285648391 I started out the lesson asking kids to go find me one of the Harry Potter books; they looked at me blankly.

We have a firewall that blocks many sites, but today's students are pretty saavy and are able to not only get on our private wifi (for teachers) but also to bypass the firewall to get to Facebook, etc. When we find that students are misusing our technology they lose certain privileges. We also let kids check out chromebooks if they have returned a signed consent form that states what it can be used for and that they will replace it if they break it.]]> 2018-09-25 16:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/285649356 tinbather https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/286672508 2018-09-27 17:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tinbather/bvmstkuvyysp/wish/286672508
