What do administrators want/need to know?
A group of librarians in the Central Region are exploring the possibility of creating a class w/ our Ed. Tech, ITSCO. For once, someone approached us instead OELMA initiating the discussion. This class would be taught next school year & we are debating content for the class now. It would be offered to teacher and/or adminstrators! We are brainstorming ideas on what would be helpful for administrators to know about how school libraries make a difference for students and teachers. I would love to hear your comments!
This came from the OELMA list about embedded standards. http://www.oelma.org/advocacy/guidelineposter.pdf
How they can encourage teachers to collaborate with the librarian.
Kent State got $2,000,000 several years ago to start a program to teach teachers how to work with librarians and the use of the library. You might tap into that source. Maybe Sue Berg at Wright State knows who to contact.
Hey Mary,
I am the ITSCO employee who initiated the conversation and would love to know more about the Kent State grant. I am going to be contacting the OELMA librarians this week to continue talking about this topic and it would be great to have the information. I can be contacted at david@itsco.org. Thanks.
