LIBRARY MANAGEMENT: Planning

Planning is a very important task for all teachers.  Teacher-librarians have a variety of management, instructional, and leadership tasks in the school that will result in an excellent school library and library program.

Review the planning samples,  begin to list your own tasks, and consider school-based activities that may determine your planning.

Create a graphic organizer that will work for you and begin to set up your year plan.  Various parts of it will evolve during the year - as you collaboratively plan and activities or issues emerge.  Make notes as the year progresses and at the end of the year, reflect, assess, evaluate, and begin planning the next year.  Each year you can focus on a different aspect of your goals and what you are planning to develop.
