3. Every Child, Every Day!
Within the publication of Information Power, AASL advocates, The
school library media specialist ensures that the basic principles
of the library media program align with the mission, goals, and
objectives of the school(p.102).
4. What they think
5. Suggestions
6. JCHS Media Center Floor Plan
7. This is working
8. Co-Teaching Area
9. This is the door
Judy Brown stresses, You never know what might happen when you open
a door (p. 23).
She also emphasizes that reopening [a door may serve] as a catalyst
for small, but very effective changes (Brown, p.21).
The door for the JCHS MC would be a warm, friendly welcome w/an
attractive entrance.
10. This is the door
11. Accessibility
The LMC should be welcoming and user-friendly (Toor, 2007,
p.34).
Steve Baule advises that a new MS [thinks] about all possible
constituencies and [tries] to provide access for them(2005,
p.15).
An accessibility issue for the JCHS MC is the circulation
desk.
A solution would be to de-clutter the entrance and provide
wheelchair access to the book drop.
12. A Welcoming and Accessible Entrance
13. Hot Spots
14. Cooperative Pairs
The Six Facets of Understanding can be best achieved through
cooperative learning(McTighe, 2006, p.97).
Perspective:Instruction should include explicit opportunities for
students to confront alternative theories and diverse points of
view regarding the big ideas(McTighe, 2006, p.97).
Empathy:Students must get beyond odd, alien, seemingly weird
opinions or people to find what is meaningful in them(McTighe,
2006, p.99).
15. Comfy area for collaboration
16. Differentiation
Keep an open eye and an open mind for the student with a serious
passion(Tomlinson, 2005, p.57).
In Information Power, AASL asserts, The goal is to assist all
students in becoming active and creative locators, evaluators, and
users of information to solve problems and to satisfy their own
curiosity (1998, p.2).
17. Room for the Independent Learner for Extending/Refining

18. Several Birds with One Caf Stone
Fostering Independence:Welcome to the 21st century of
librarianship.Its not teacher-led.Its student-centered(Whelan,
2008, p.37).
Increasing Foot Traffic:Circulation has more than tripled since the
coffeehouse opened(Whelan 36).
Maintaining Lines of Sight:Ensure that the library media center can
be supervised from a single spot- the circulation desk(Baule, 2005,
p.15).
Management:The arrangement of the room can help or hinder your
ability to maintain discipline(Toor, 2007, p.59).
Pleasing Teachers:Give us COFFEE!!!!!!!!!
19. Learning is social
20. Co-Teaching and Instructional Support
Think of what you can do to make teachers comfortable in the
LMC.That makes them more open to working collaboratively with
you(Toor, 2007, p.58).
A colleague remarked to me recently that the plight of teachers is
that we were taught to teach science, not to be scientists.We were
taught to teach public speaking, not to be orators(Tomlinson,2005,
p.32).
21. The Teachers Space
22. Conference Room
23. New JCHS MC Floor Plan
24. Policy Recommendations
25. Policy Recommendations
26. Resolution
In Information Power, AASL advocates,Helping students flourish in
[the] learning community is the central concern of student-centered
library media programs(1998, p.2).
I have learned the only constant in a media center program should
be flexibility.We should constantly evaluate student achievement
and continuously adjust our policies and plans to meet students and
teachers needs.
