Laura seemed like a master at resources when we spoke, so it just seemed natural to me to ask her questions about curation. She creates pathways for students to use. She also creates resources lists on Destiny for teachers to reference. She is very tech savvy, so she does a lot to incorporate the use of district programs that students have access to. She is a very project-based teacher when she can be without all the covid guidelines. One of her biggest challenges is the number of devices she has to manage in a days’ time. She is also struggling with Destiny because of her resource lists are not saving when she creates them. Laura was extremely helpful and has offered to help me learn how to create the resources lists. She also wants to help me with some Destiny basics that I have had to learn on my own so far. She certainly seems like an asset to her faculty and our districts librarian group. Her other comment to me was to take it one day at a time and to learn one thing at a time. Building a successful school library program takes time, which was a wonderful reminder.
Below I found how one can grow as a librarian in each Shared
Foundation.
“Curation, an area of expertise for school librarians,
supports self-growth and is critical in creating a knowledge base and
cultivating best practices in the area of school librarianship. Curating as an endeavor
to personalize professional learning is as the root of creating a thriving and
effective school library. Seeking out research and scholarly information about
school librarianship, teaching, and learning helps school librarians formulate
ideas and make connections that enhance their practice.” (AASL, National School
Library Standards, p. 149)
