Media: PD and Leadership Opportunities



Shared from Vicky Mahoney at Powhatan:
This is a great conference for media specialists to demonstrate their leadership skills. I presented the conference last year. It was a great learning experience for me. --Vicky


The Planning Committee For the 11th Annual Librarian to Librarian Networking Summit Is Accepting Proposals

The Librarian to Librarian Networking Summit is designed to encourage K-12 school media coordinators and library science students preparing to become media coordinators to communicate with each other, and the educational community at large, in order to promote the essential role they play in student academic success. The sessions, covering a wide variety of topics, will be primarily comprised of roundtable discussions facilitated by experts in the profession. Summit attendees will be given an opportunity to attend sessions of their choice.  This year’s summit will be held on March 19, 2016 with “Building Communities” as the theme.

If you would like to serve as a facilitator for the 2016 summit, complete the online Facilitator Proposal Form.  Proposals received by Monday, January 25, 2016, will receive full consideration.  Acceptance notifications will be emailed by Monday, February 1, 2016.  If you have not been contacted by this date, please contact me at zuberbierd14@ecu.edu or 252-328-0406.  If your proposal is selected, the registration fee for you and your co-facilitator will be waived. 

We are requesting individuals to "facilitate" and not "present" since the primary purpose of the Summit is for attendees to network with colleagues and discuss current professional topics in a roundtable setting.  Responsibilities of the facilitator include:

· Guiding session discussion and learning
· Providing interactive activities when possible
· Answering questions
· Recommending resources
· Providing handouts if appropriate. 

Sessions are 75-minutes long, with the first session beginning at 10:00 am.  A limited number of instructional sessions will also be accepted.  To view sessions and facilitator biographies from previous summits, visit our Previous Networking Summits web page.

"School library media coordinators actively seek ongoing professional development to improve their practice and the effectiveness of the library media program." (Standard 5, Element B)
Summer programs from the National Endowment for the Humanities may provide valuable PD opportunities for your school library media coordinators. The Power of Place is in Asheville, NC. Please consider sharing this opportunity with them. Thanks.

Media Leadership Opportunity



From DPI Media Team: Leadership Opportunity for Media Coordinators

Several performance indicators on the school library media coordinator rubric relate to leading professional development. ECU's Librarian to Librarian Networking Summit may give SLMCs an opportunity to implement these indicators. The planning committee is currently accepting session proposals. Please share this information with your SLMCs. Thanks.

Media Opportunity for Leadership


Chandra Cook, Sheila Robertson and Robin Willis are serving as representatives for the region 3 Battle of the Books this school year. At the end of this year, Robin will cycle off and we will be in need of 1 more volunteer to serve on the committee as a representative starting in the 2016-2017 school year.  Please be sure the media coordinators in your district are aware of this opportunity to demonstrate leadership beyond the school level (Standard 1 on the professional standards), and have them contact me if they are interested in serving in this role.  

Responsibilities include:
  • attending State Battle of the Books Committee meetings (approximately 4 per year)—our next meeting is Friday, September 19
  • writing questions for 1 or 2 books on the new list each year
  • communicating with system/county level contacts
  • collecting verifying compliance forms
  • coordinating the regional competition with the other representatives and host district
  • assisting at the state competition

If you are interested email Robin Willis and copy Amy Stanley. We hope one or more of you might be interested in this leadership opportunity.



In the past many of you have worked with your school in order to attend the NCSLMA Conference - October 22-24, 2015, as always the conference is in Winston Salem, NC.  Registration is open until September 30, 2015 if you are interested in attending this year.
