Comparing the different types of
instructional design models enabled
me to investigate distinctive learning
styles and how those styles impact
student achievement. Within the
course of my research, I was able to
determine how these styles supply
educators with the means for
achieving optimal student success in
and out of the classroom.

Creating a Prezi presentation that
illustrated the impact that a school
library media center and its programs
has on student achievement, enabled
me to better understand just how
essential it is for me to be an advocate
for not just the library program in my
school but every program in the
country.

With each review of a particular
resource, I was able to discern just
how vital it is for a school library
media specialist to understand the role
that he/she plays in being an
information specialist. In this
particular case, I was familiar enough
with the resources to be able to
identify those that would be ensure
student success if used.

Creating a two year plan of programs
for the school library media center
enabled me to better understand that in
developing that plan I must bear in
mind the schools strategic plan,
curriculum, and the diversity of the
schools student body. Additionally, I
must implement that plan as I engage
and collaborated as I work with
teachers to promote literature, reading,
and technology.

There are many avenues to collaborate
with a classroom teacher, but one of
the greatest ways is to generate a
pathfinder. The pathfinder includes
Portfolio Matrix M.Ed./Add-On/Initial Certification in School Library Media

instructions or links to websites for
information on a particular topic. It is
designed to work well with diverse
students but with special attention
made to the integration of instructional
technology. The pathfinder I created
was intended for use by high school
students in an American government
course researching the federal
government.

A book talk is a great way to entice
readers that are having difficulties or
as a way to ignite a new interest. But,
it is also one of the best ways for a
media specialist to promote
reading/literacy to patrons. In the book
talk that I created, I presented patrons
with a plethora of Halloween reading
material available in the SLMC.

The process of interviewing three
librarians at three different levels
permitted me to see just how complex
and versatile librarianship is. I spoke
to an elementary school media
specialist, a high school media
specialist, and a public librarian in my
quest to better understand how
patrons access and use reference
resources. As I was able to be
educated on this subject, I began to
also realize how important it is and
will continue to be to nurture a
relationship with the local library
because it is another resource at my
disposal to use for the benefit of those
whom I serve.

In an effort to serve as a leader and
information specialist in the school
setting, I created a year-long
professional development plan
centered on infusing technology into
the classroom. Teachers are able to

receive PLU credits for attending any
of the workshops.

The student/client project showed me
how to look at data provided by the
Georgia Department of Education to
determine how demographics and
socio-economic status effect student
assessment and instruction. Knowing
how to research and discover this
information, enables me to be
knowledgeable about the current
standards of those students in a
particular school or school system
which then lends me to be able to
discuss with teachers or administrators
at length and to be seen as a leader
within the school and community.

Being able to collaborate with teachers
on curricular topics enables a media
specialist to be seen as an instructional
partner. One way to do this is to
create a digital story kit that provides
the basic keys to creating a digital
story. In the kit that I created,
students are able to create a story on
the Revolutionary War. Because of
Portfolio Matrix M.Ed./Add-On/Initial Certification in School Library Media

this resource, students and teachers are
able to view me as a information
specialist because of the information
provided in the kit.

A school wide plan allows me to work
with all departments and teachers to
develop materials that are not only
correlated to standards, but enhance
the learning experience for all
populations of students. The plan that
I created is based upon a fairy tale unit
taught to every student in an
elementary school.
