Using Technology to Support the Following Adoptions in Reading/Language Arts
Marketing School Libraries in a Networked World
Here is a basic template and several examples. A marketing plan can be for an overarching strategy, or for specific one-time events. All need a basic set of items addressed, so this template and examples show how a marketing plan can be created for any effort. Keep it simple, but leave room for details. An overarching marketing plan (a part of a district 5-year library plan, for example) could include mini-market plans for annual or monthly events, a media plan for PTA or other newsletter columns, or plans specific to elementary/middle/high schools. These can be downloaded and re-worked for your own school library marketing plan.
E-Communications—Are you a power user?
How do you communicate? How do your teachers, administrators, students, and parents communicate? It is important to communicate in many ways in order to reach your many audiences. Here is a simple self-assessment. How many more e-communications tools can you (or your students) name?
Measurements and Reporting
Here is a "starter set" of student achievement-related measurements of school library programs, services, and teacher collaboration. This is meant for discussion purposes so individual school libraries and school districts can better assess and present evidence of how libraries support student achievement.
Library Strengths and Assets
Schools/school libraries on one side, public libraries on other side. This tool is useful to use as a discussion and strategizing tool to better understand and position the school and library for funding requests, whether through budgeting, fundraising, or grant seeking.
