As school and Public librarians, we need to become leaders in our schools and buildings.. We (
along with administrators & direct) are the professionals that have the overall
snapshot of the school and community’s . We are the ones that know the instruction ,curriculum. and personal needs. Work
with your administrators and directors to set up a schedule for staff development for
the next year. Work with your staff to develop what needs to be done as far as educating the clerks .
One of the first staff development workshops that you can do during teacher conference days is an Orientation to the data bases that your school has. This will give everyone a push to get the teachers thinking about which ones they can use with their students. At this time, offer to help classes learn how to use databases or mention that they can be used when the classes are doing research, guided inquiry or non-fiction texts.
During the year, listen to staff and see what they need as far as staff development. Is there a grade level that wants to infuse more technology? Do clerks and staff have lots of questions on circulation, reports, other tasks?
Some more ideas for staff development: e-sources, primary sources, information literacy skills, streaming video sites for your state- show them how helpful they can be, digital projects, inquiry based learning, and resources for the common core.
