Obstacles

​

Description

Action

Sudden Closure

  • Not prepared for virtual instruction
  • Lack of PD and inconsistent instructional design K-3
  • How do we hold students accountable? Grades? Attendance? Provide FAPE to students with IEPs?
  • Crash course in PD (Zoom, Formative, Google Classroom)
  • Plan how to streamline lesson delivery in the future
  • Develop guidelines on how often to communicate with students. Pass/Fail with minimum percentage of work attempted

Access to Resources

  • District is 1:1 for grades 3-12 only (3rd graders do not bring home chromebooks)
  • 42% at or below poverty, many students do not have internet access or technology
  • Scrambled to get chromebooks to kids
  • Negotiated with local internet providers to provide service
  • Used Families First to help pay family debts to service providers

Transfer of Knowledge

  • What role does the librarian play in all of this?
  • If this continues, how can I make sure I have a seat at the table when decision making time comes?
  • Reactive mode
  • Helped whoever I could help, however I could
  • Continued to provide instruction
  • Continued to provide support for teachers (digital library resources), technology assistance for faculty AND families
  • Formulate a reopening plan

13 of 52

Reopening Plan: Considerations

  • Position Statement that clearly aligns with vision, mission & values of your district
  • Identify yourself as the subject expert
  • Explain how YOU will be the success point for your families
  • Become an expert in space, safety & budget asap
  • Identify your liabilities & assets. Look for allies.
  • Identify the space, safety & budget issues in your library and SOLVE these problems for your administrators

Learning Environment Spring 2020

Challenges

Advantages

  • Lack of warning. We learned we were closing at 3:00 on March 13th as we were leaving for the day�
  • Teachers were NOT allowed back in the building to get supplies needed for online teaching.�
  • Equitable wifi access for students.�
  • Troubleshooting technology issues remotely.
  • 1:1 Chromebooks for ALL students, and approximately 70% of students already participated in our Take-Home program.�
  • Teachers and students were already familiar with Google Classroom.

16 of 52

Moving Forward

  • Re-opening plans are an excellent marketing tool for your library. Use the opportunity to remind administration and teachers what you offer!�
  • Look at all the services you offer in the library, and determine how you can continue to offer those same services while abiding by best health guidelines.�
  • Administrators have enough on their plates right now, determine your own best solutions.�
  • See my full plan here!

2020/2021 School Year

Library Proposal

  • Be proactive - propose ideas
  • Offer how you can help either in person or virtually.
  • Schedule Zoom read alouds
  • Make a padlet of stories, links, messages or a Google or Bitmoji room.
  • Mentally go through Library day.
  • How would you address each thing to make the Library experience safe?
  • Look how Library schedule can be tweaked to allow extra time for cleaning books and areas.

Ideas

  • Hand sanitizer station at door
  • Sit Spots socially distanced
  • No shelf markers
  • No students behind counter/helpers
  • Scanner put in stand
  • Type in student name or number yourself
  • Student holds books under scanner to check in/out
  • Books quarantined 48-72 hours
  • Books wiped down

Bitmoji tutorials are readily available on Youtube. They are a fun, interactive way to get information out to your staff, students and families.

Be a problem solver.

​

Be proactive.

​

Now is the time to show what you can do and how you can help.
