Bonnie Hauser replied to Chelaine's discussion Library Computer Lab Scheduling: Limit teacher visits?"I use a wiki to sign up for the lab, as well as the two conference rooms in the library. It is a blank page with tables for each week of the school year. Teachers simply click edit, type their name in the table in the class period/day they want it,…"

If you can bring the excitement you have about collaborating with your teacher friends to this meeting, you will do just fine. Good…"
Kathleen Vetter replied to Chelaine's discussion Library Computer Lab Scheduling: Limit teacher visits?"Wow Bonnie, 1 lab for 2700 students. Kudos to you! I think transparency and accountability are key. I've been hesitant to restrict scheduling of our computer labs because I hate to penalize teachers who plan in advance. On the other hand,…"
Bonnie Hauser replied to Chelaine's discussion Library Computer Lab Scheduling: Limit teacher visits?"We have been running for two years with only one lab for 2700 students. It has been difficult to manage, but once I moved my lab sign up online, things got much easier for me. Teachers now plan to use the lab further in advance, and the transparency…"

Faculty Meeting Presentation: Overview of Librarian
I've been invited to do a presentation at our monthly faculty meeting of a basic overview of my role in the school and probably a market of my skills and tools for teachers.I don't think the school has either had before or taken advantage of having a teacher librarian, so most of the faculty don't quite know what I can do for them (though I've been marketing myself to them as much as I can).So does anyone have examples and ideas to help me have a good presentation? I have some ideas, but I'm…See More

Greetings Chelaine,
I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight.
If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mike McQueen
