Welcome to our library! Below you will find listed my expectations for your 128 experience. We look forward to having you join us.

School Library Media Studies Participants

I. Professionalism:

A. Be prompt and prepared
B. Bring your journal and other materials as needed.
C. Dress professionally. A dress, skirt, or dress pants reminds students that you are in charge.

II. Journal:

A. Write in your journal daily.
B. Comment on anything you like- it's always best to start with positive commentary, then ask any questions. Comments on how you might approach things differently are encouraged. Also, comments concerning library procedures and/or practices would be appropriate.
C. Journals should be handed in or e-mailed in every Friday. I will return them to you the following school day.

III. Lessons:

A. Each participant will be asked to plan and execute two lessons, each lasting about 20 minutes. Scheduling and preparation will be worked out informally. In conjunction with these lessons, each student will complete a teacher work sample. The components of the work sample should be completed as follows:
week 1 - contextual factors (community, district and school factors, classroom factors, student characteristics, and the instructional implications of of each of these)
week 2 - learning goals and assessment plans for your two lessons
weeks 3 & 4 - assessment plans and design for instruction (lesson plan) for your lessons

There should be plenty of opportunities for you to become involved, both with students and with library tasks. If there is a particular task you would like to practice, please let me know; I'm sure we can accommodate you.
