Credibility, Commitment & Follow Through mscarr1 https://padlet.com/mscarr1/wqpu3w0m5os8/wish/247397932 When you can demonstrate your knowledge in various subjects or at least know how to access information, you build up your credibility with your staff.

When you can demonstrate several ways technology can improve/help with student learning and make teachers' lives easier, you build up your credibility with your staff. As per the Dambruoso article, "We can teach students how to do almost anything that has to do with basic computer skills, and we can teach teachers how to use productive tools to add to lessons, or new ways of having students show what they have learned (isn’t grading papers getting a little boring?)."

When you live up to your commitments and follow though with your initiatives, you build up your credibility with your staff.

 * It could be as simple as a pile of books with a sticky note attached that is left on a teacher's desk.
* Send a quick email if you want to follow up with someone or remind them of your conversation.
* A shared document that people can add to might help.
* You can have a quick face-to-face conversation.

The important things to remember when communicating are to: be visible, but not intrusive, be helpful, but not overbearing, be quick rather than long winded.]]> 2018-03-29 20:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mscarr1/wqpu3w0m5os8/wish/247398066 Q2.

"The role and impact of the teacher-librarian can be synthesized quite simply: teacher-librarians 
impact student learning and achievement by forming strong and positive relationships with members of the school community..." Dr. Ken Haycock 
(Leading the Learning)

A search about relationships and TED Talks resulted in about 653,000 results, which indicates how important they are.

Be a Passionate & Life Long Learner mscarr1 https://padlet.com/mscarr1/wqpu3w0m5os8/wish/247412239 I think it's our job to be geeks/nerds about learning. We need to lead by example when it comes to professional development. Always be asking, "What do I want to learn today? How can I deepen my understanding about...? What new challenge can I try today?" ]]> 2018-03-29 23:32:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mscarr1/wqpu3w0m5os8/wish/247412239 Q2.

Be an Innovator mscarr1 https://padlet.com/mscarr1/wqpu3w0m5os8/wish/247414577 Don't be afraid to step out and try something new. Often wonderful "accidents" happen when we try something new or find a new approach. Even if we "fail" there is so much to be learned.]]> 2018-03-30 00:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mscarr1/wqpu3w0m5os8/wish/247414577 Q2. Be a Collaborator mscarr1 https://padlet.com/mscarr1/wqpu3w0m5os8/wish/247414704 Sometimes we have to reach out to others first instead of waiting for them to come to us. Open doors and minds go a long way to making good collaboration happen.]]> 2018-03-30 00:15:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mscarr1/wqpu3w0m5os8/wish/247414704 Q2. Be a Teacher mscarr1 https://padlet.com/mscarr1/wqpu3w0m5os8/wish/247415298 What is your area of specialty? Are you a History major that can help co-plan a unity for Social Studies across grade groups? Are you a lover of literature that is willing to lend your expertise in teaching creating or analysis literature? Maybe your passion is Science or Math and you'd love to help plan a unit or work with a small group of students. You know just how to find what a teacher or student is looking for at the right time. Whatever your specialty is, use it!]]> 2018-03-30 00:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mscarr1/wqpu3w0m5os8/wish/247415298
