This is the Future Ready Library Plan for the Portage Community School District. It lays out the 8 gears (and central gear of student centered literacy) individually. Each gear page discusses the focus, highlights what we are already doing to address the gear, and future plans to address areas of weakness. The plan is meant to be fluid in its website form that we will re-evaluate yearly to best meet our district needs.
This slide show is from my recent presentation at WEMTA. It discusses how we are leveraging the library for professional development opportunities in the middle and high school. The PD in the iC/LC program is part of a joint effort to provide more personalized professional learning that will inspire our staff to adopt and promote the future ready mindset. It is also a key part of our efforts to support staff and students through the library programming and resources since the library is ideally situated to work cross-categorically and across the age ranges. Examples and resources are linked inside the presentation for viewers to use and remix as best fits their learning community.
Help Save the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus from Exrinction is a website dedicated to the survival of a unique species of octopus - or is it? How can we tell if a website is a credible source? Even if it looks good on the surface, is that information true? Use this website to teach students how to evaluate a website for it's usefulness and credibility.
The WEMTA presentation highlights a variety of ways to provide professional learning to staff members with a focus on using coaching tools to develop your strategies

This electronic activity uses Desmos to walk students through graphical representations of polynomial transformations. Students work at their own pace or through teacher controlled pacing to explore cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Teachers can also select and highlight student responses and bring them to the attention of the entire class. Link to Activity
"I created this site to make it a little easier for parents, teachers and students to find resources, games, and have additional resources to support online learning without having to create a bunch of new accounts or remember a bunch of passwords. This is a database of links to free educational pre-K-12th grade games and research tools with no log ins or sign ups or memberships required. This site is aligned to Common Core Standards, teacher and parent needs and student interests.
I invite you to explore and play and to maybe learn something new."

"This site came about in early 2020 when schools around the country started to close, due to COVID 19. I saw online that there were a lot of resources that families could access, but felt that the choices were overwhelming to parents and kids who were looking for some fun and educational things to do online. I narrowed down the sources and put them onto a manageable site that is easy for kids and parents to use. The use of technology is encouraged in schools and at home in order to support student engagement. With technology, I hope to inspire the STEM leaders and innovators of tomorrow.
All of the links on this site are aligned with the Common Core Standards and are all age appropriate. With these links, all materials are free to use, without having to sign up or register for anything. I hope that you enjoy exploring these sites."

School librarians fulfill five important roles: instructional partner, teacher, leader, information specialist, and program administrator, all of which highlight the profession’s skill at building relationships and creating an inclusive school culture. During the COVID-19 pandemic, schools need this librarian skill set more than ever as they adapt to meet the current needs of learners in a constantly changing learning environment.
Use these annual reports for ideas on ways to present your library plan. The goal is to find a format that will be useful to you and your stakeholders. No more dusty plans on the shelf!
