were used for. The SLMS will bring
this information to the committee to
review and determine what needs to be
done next.
Goal 2:

teachers as an
instructional
partner through
integrating literacy
and technologies.
Objective 2A:
The SLMS will choose a grade
level to focus on collaboration at
the beginning of each year.
Objective 2B:
The SLMS will decide on
another grade level to
collaborate at the beginning of
each year.
Objective 2C:

long love of
reading and
learning among all
stakeholders.
Objective 3B:
The SLMS will promote summer
reading for students. Information
will be provided to the students
and parents (via handouts,
school website, etc.) regarding
the county library summer
reading program. The SLMS
will also hold three library
checkout sessions during the
summer for students to check out
books. The SLMS will
collaborate with teachers to
provide students enrichment
opportunities using the summer
reading books the following
school year.
Objective 3C:
The SLMS will seek funding
opportunities to provide
technology resources in the form
of eBook devices to
accommodate student learning.
also now part of a data-driven environment (McGriff, Harvey, & Preddy, 2004),
surveying and assessing are vital to the success of the school library program. The
teachers will be surveyed to provide feedback at the end of the year of their collaboration
experiences. These will be kept with the grade level meeting notes, which are turned in
to administrators at the end of the school year. Each year, the SLMS will increase the
collaborative planning with another grade level until collaboration is occurring with each
grade level. Lastly, attending grade level meetings will help to increase the level of
collaboration. The survey results suggested there was some collaboration, but there
needed to be more time set aside for specific grade level planning. Also, by keeping
notes and creating assignments during these meetings, will keep everyone on the same
page. This can also be helpful from year to year because the archived notebooks can be
used as guides in creating new lessons.
The third goal Promote and encourage a life-long love of reading and learning
among all stakeholders, is important because this is still one of the main goals of a
media center. AASL (2009) states, The school librarians ability to to build strong
relationships with teachers, school administrators, and the community is key to
implementing change (p. 47). Promoting and encouraging reading and learning would
be easily obtained if there is a positive working relationship in place. The stakeholders
suggested continued support of reading throughout all classrooms. It was noted that boys
tend to not enjoy reading and/or struggle with it more than their fellow female
classmates. The first objective to promote a life-long love of reading is to increase the
amount of books boys may be interested in reading. The second objective was created
because the stakeholders said they felt students would excel more if they continued
reading throughout the summer and not just during the school year. Therefore, a summer
reading program where students are able to come to their school as well as visit public
libraries may increase the amount of students who continue with their reading. The
summer reading will be promoted and incorporated in enrichment assignments the
following school year. The last objective was created to help incorporate technology to
promote a love of reading. Some students prefer to use their technology to read
information. Providing more than one outlet for reading will open their minds to
enjoying reading.
