Professional Goal Setting
Here is what I turned in to my principal as my professional goal:
Create a collection map to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the library collection. Data will be used to examine the holdings and determine whether they meet the needs of classroom teachers to support the curriculum and the informational and recreational needs of students. This will then be used to create a collection development plan to obtain materials to meet student and teacher needs.
The books I requested are Collection Assessment and Management for School Libraries and The Collection Program in Schools: Concepts, Practices, and Information Sources. I will also be using Information Power and The Information Powered School which I already own.
I know I will need to get my principal on board and will need him to request faculty participation in surveys to see what is in classrooms. We’ll see how it all goes.
