Re: Collaboration with teachers

[Colleen Williams <CMillsWms@AOL.COM>]

To add to the discussion--I look for methods to "reward and recognize"
teacher collaboration in order to promote more of it.  Teachers can always
use a sincere pat on the back!

Ask permission to share successful lesson plans; keep a file of samples to
show during planning sessions--it is a way to show appreciation while
introducing tips and techniques to others.

Use a hallway space or common-use area to display assignment products and
clearly identify the teacher/class which completed the media project. Ask to
display these projects in a community space--at a mall, in the public
library, etc.

Always add a sidebar or column in your newsletters to publicize class visits.
 A quick sentence or two can serve several goals:  complimenting a teacher
who uses the media center while providing inspiration to others and
identifying a specific service, product or procedure.
