Personal+Philosophy

**Philosophy ** A media specialist no longer concerns herself/himself with just shelving books, cataloging, and checking out books. Today's media specialist teaches, collaborates with students, teachers, and administration, and plans for events to promote the media center. As a media specialist, I want to make the media center a student-centered, exciting place to learn, see, and be seen. The media center isn't just about books but also some really cool technology to investigate, locate information, and use that information for yourself or a class assignment. The ultimate goal is to prepare my students to be 21st Century learners where they have the very necessary intellectual freedom to read, discover, and explore.
