Standard+III

According to the [|American Library Association] school library media candidates provide leadership and establish connections with the greater library and education community to create school library media programs that focus on students learning and achievement; encourage the personal and professional growth of teachers and other educators, and model the efficient and effective use of information and ideas.

Artifacts **Digital Video** In an effort to encourage students to become lifelong readers, this video was produced with the help of four of my students (three current students and 1 former). The students gave booktalks about their favorite book to encourage others to read. This was the first time I had ever done something like this and was a true learning experience. My former student had to tell me that I hadn't recorded the first part.

**Collection Development** For this activity I collaborated with our wonderful 8th grade teachers. One of the 8th grade standards covers the use of Georgia Authors. Sadly there is a lack of resources in our media center for our 8th grade students. The completed list was shared with our media specialist in hopes to eventually purchase some of these resources.
