Reflection Connecting
Outcomes, Standards, and
Artifacts
Through the development of the
Dewey Decimal lesson students
will be able to read, view, and
listen for information presented
in any format in order to make
inferences and gather meaning
using the Dewey System. This
lesson will also serve as a
learning tool to help facilitate a
basic understanding of the
Dewey Decimal System.
Presented by the Teacher.
(AASL1.1.6)
The Dewey Training Aid will help
all students learn (PSC 3.c)
material on the Dewey Decimal
System presented by the
Teacher, Leader, or Instructional
Partner. This tool will help
patrons locate materials in a
more efficient manner once they
understand the basic concepts
of the Dewey Decimal System.

By developing What makes an

Exemplary Library Media
Program, I have acquired the
knowledge as the Leader or
Informational Specialist, to apply
best practices in the Media
Center and to help make it an
environment conducive for
students to learn. As a tool, it
has helped me educate students
on the importance of utilizing
the resources available in the
Media Center as they conduct
research for their classroom
assignments. (AASL 5.3)
The Equipment Operations
assignment will allow the
Teacher, Informational Specialist
or Program Administrator to
learn the basic components and
the operation of the schools
various pieces of equipment.
Understanding what tools are
available for use will afford the
Teacher, Informational Specialist
or Program Administrator the
ability to be more effective in
assisting patrons that utilize the
Media Center. (AASL 5.3; PSC
7.d; NCATE 1.e)
Through the development of the
Library Facilities plan, as the
Program Administrator or
Leader, I would be able to

properly manage this facility and
utilize concepts learned to make
the Media Center a welcoming
environment for student
learning. As a resource, the
Media Center should be an asset
for each patron as they conduct
research and study. (AASL 3.4 &
5.3).

integrate the use of technology
provided by the Teacher or

important as it will provide a
solid foundation for each student
to understand how to conduct

In the research of a School

Partner would need to possess in
order to successfully help
students and staff. The
information gleaned from this
study will help the Teacher,

Though the development of the

OPAC Systems Aid, Teachers or

explore a variety of systems that
can be used to accommodate

The skills acquired will afford the
Teacher and Instructional

knowledge and experience to
facilitate meaningful discussions
with students using the Media

The OPAC Tutorial Project will
help assist a Teacher,

experience will allow the

Through the development of the
digital storytelling, Teachers,
Instructional Partners, or

able to explore a variety of

diverse set of tools allow the
participants to have tools to fit

The development of the Media

Center website by the Teacher,
Program Administrator, or
Information Specialist would
allow patrons to view polices,
links to resources, and use
interactive elements that could
be located in the Media Center.
As a resource, use of this
website will provide the policies,
procedures and protocols for
everyone to view and apply as
appropriate. It describes
expectations and rules to live by
in the Media Center.

to ensure everyone understand

The narrated tour of the Library

Media Center Orientation will
allow students, faculty and
parents an opportunity to learn
and view various parts of the
Media Center. This resource will
aid the Teacher, Instructional

become familiar with the Media

provides parents an opportunity

that support their childrens
research and education in the

(AASL 1.4 & 4.1; PSC 3.c; NCATE

The Program Administrator,
Informational Specialist, or
Teacher would develop the
policies and procedures for
students before the school year
starts, so when the students
arrive a plan is prepared and
ready for execution. Being
prepared prior to students
arrival is truly a benefit as this
allows stakeholders the ability to
test their resources and plans to
ensure they have addressed

As the Teacher, Program
Administrator, or Informational
Specialist developing a two-year
plan for the Media Center would
help guide the instruction,
budget and technology needs
for your patrons. In an
environment where there is a
strain on resources (i.e., human,
financial and material) it is
crucial to review available
resources and strategically craft
an action plan to utilize those
resources this assessment
affords the participants the
chance to prepare accordingly
and with alacrity. (AASL 5.4;
PSC 3.c, 4.a, 4.d, 7.d; NCATE 4.a
& 4.d)
As the Informational Specialist or
Leader, knowledge of current
Media Center and technology
issues are perceived and
handled in schools when working
with a diverse group of students
and staff. In being a learning
tool, knowledge of the basic
tenets of a Media Center are key
as application is expected and
must be applied equally
throughout the academic school

The Teacher, Program
Administrator, or Informational
Specialist will work to develop
curriculum and experiences for a
diverse group of students. They
will hear the debate constantly
about classroom teacher vs. the
school librarian and who
contributes more to the
students. Each stakeholder
plays a key role in the
development of the student and
a conversation regarding how to
leverage this relationship is vital.
Each must embrace their role
and the significance it plays in
support the students that utilize
the Media Center. (AASL 1.2 &

As the Teacher, or Instructional
