2.2/25/2008 10:34:00 PMTrain Media Specialists to use FINDS and encourage collaborative lessons that help students learn to manage information through a systematic process
3.2/25/2008 10:53:00 PMnot sure
4.2/25/2008 11:57:00 PMMore PR to bring in those teachers who still think media specialists have horns or are of no consequence. Our reading scores are good, but lately some of the reading teachers are too focused on lexiles.
5.2/26/2008 12:46:00 PMmake lists of books that are lo-hi and interest level appropriate to help us choose new additions to our collections
6.2/26/2008 1:03:00 PMKeep processing as much as possible, so we can spend more time on class prep.
7.2/26/2008 1:23:00 PMGet us the best book prices possible, so as to increase the number of books in our collection
8.2/26/2008 2:29:00 PMmoney to purchase more books with high interest/low vocabulary for the at-risk students.
9.2/26/2008 3:08:00 PMHelp secure more money for books. Weeding is a top priority but some schools do not have the funds to replace weeded materials.
10.2/26/2008 3:18:00 PMProvide more money to the elementary school for books where books get CHECKED OUT, AND MORE AIDE TIME IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. PERHAPS WEEDING IS NOT THE ONLY ISSUE WITH SCHOOLS GETTING MONEY... maybe schools to use books should get more money. Since we began weeding I saw many OLD ugly titles on the MS and HS catalogs.

16.2/26/2008 9:06:00 PMNot applicable since we don't give the FCAT at my school.
17.2/28/2008 3:24:00 PMPerhaps a wiki of lesson plans so media people can share what they are doing  Good Idea!

20.2/28/2008 6:51:00 PMMedia specialist/ Reading coach relationships vary from school to school. Maybe we could invited reading coaches to some CE program we do that would help them?

26.2/28/2008 11:27:00 PMThe problem I have is how reading is being taught. All teachers (reading) came to the center every two weeks. But with the new administration, they do not.
