Hi all, I am at the end of my spring break :(, but I have some of this time reflecting on what changes I would like to see in my media center. I don't mean physical changes, although I will probably do that, too, I mean philosophy changes. One thi...

Reading like crazy!

Now that the quarter is over, my elementary school is on winter break, and all the Christmas cookies are baked; I can settle down and read all those books I have missed since September! I've read "Found" by Margaret Peterson Haddix, "Savvy", and am reading "House of Many Ways" by Diane Wynne Jones. I have the book "Dark as Gold", a Rumplestiltstin variation, but am looking for a few more that may be on Newbery lists. Any suggestions out there?

A am an adjuct professor of library science, teaching library methods and library science student teaching. In both of these courses I stress the power and importance of collaboration and integration. I am also an elementary school media specialist with Hilliard City Schools (we won the NSLMPY award in 2006!) I really feel that collaboration is essential for our students to get the most effective eduational experience! But I also know first hand that it can be very challenging to persuade teachers of the inherent benefits. I guess I am hoping that there will be a secret code or magic word that will open all the doors that are roadblocks and all my teachers will be begging to collaborate with me!
I liked the tone that many of the folks on LM_Net had about this topic, understanding the difficulties collaboration can seem to be for teachers, instead of just complaining! I like the idea of a group that will discuss this topic; maybe together we can discover a variety of strategies we can share with others that will make collaboration a less threatening word to some of the teachers we desire to work with!
OK, I rambled on long enough,
Liz

Hi Liz,
Welcome to the BCC group! I'd love to know more about your interest in the group.
What is the status of school librarianship in Ohio? Do you teach school library courses at the college level?
Best,
Judi
