Vision and Philosophy

Educational Philosophy

All students have a desire to learn about themselves and the world around them. The goal of education should be to facilitate students’ needs to be educated in an environment that is academically engaging, caters to the different learning modalities, utilizes a variety of strategies and skills, and encourages students to be active participants in the learning process. This is how we can successfully prepare our students today to be powerful, productive, and successful citizens.

Media Center Philosophy

The media center is a centralized collection of a wide variety of print and non-print materials selected to support the instructional program and meet the educational, social, vocational, aesthetic, and personal needs of all patrons, especially the students. The media center strives to enrich students’ lives through the resources available in its quest to encourage students to be both life-long learners and life-long readers.

Media Center Vision

The media center exists to aid students and other patrons in their pursuit of education and to help teachers carry out the necessary requirements according to the curriculum. The media center is an open and flexible facility welcoming individuals, small groups, and entire classes to come do research, browse, learn media skills, view visuals, and prepare learning and instructional materials.

Goals

The goals of the school library media center will be to make information available to every student, teacher, administrator, and parent connected to the school. In order to encourage patrons to utilize the media center and its resources, they must view the media center as a welcoming place. To increase the number of people who use the media center and to increase circulation, I plan to:

& Offer extended hours several times a week

& Advertise new books and resources

& Encourage collaboration, especially with connections teachers

& Decrease barriers to access
