Middle and High School- Focus on YOU!
Resources in this week's newsletter focus more on our Middle and High School Libraries-- on purpose! What's going on in YOUR library? All of the resources included this week are part of what "should" be going on in your library to support our students as they journey to College and Career Readiness!
- MakerSpace - Just watch the video :) It speaks for itself!
- Research - I love this week's graphic in the contact section! Check out the Big 6 article to help you generate ideas to encourage collaboration! Location and access include finding the correct information in the resource-- not just locating the resource!
- Work Keys - This test is given to all 12th grade students in the Spring. Check out the resources to see how we connect to teaching multiple literacies that will ensure "GOLD" for more students this year!

After viewing the webinar in it's entirety-- email me at dcoe1@alsde.edu with an idea that you could implement in your library OR send me three questions that you need answered after viewing and I will award your credit.
Feel free to share this video with your Principal to start a conversation about what you need to get a MakerSpace started in your library-- scheduling, supplies-- whatever!
