I have been an Elementary Media Specialist for several years and am taking
the plunge next year to the grades 6-8 bracket. I am meeting on Thursday
with my principal and IT Director to hash out a schedule for the upcoming
year. In our district, we were spoiled and had a Media Tech for library and
clerical tasks, and the Specialist for lab instruction and ordering, and now
due to finances will 'just' have a Specialist in each building . The
positive is that I will be in the same building all day everyday which is a
luxury I did NOT have in elementary. Could you all share some examples of
your schedule? Like, I am thinking maybe weekly instruction for 6th grade in
lab, and other grades by request, ie: a research project due, etc. That way
I can be in the library when the kids need to check items out. Did I mention
I am also the first line of defense for technological issues for the
building? I am really curious as to how other districts schedule their
Specialists' time and your responsibilities.
Thanks in Advance,
