Every year, the librarians in my district have to submit 3 goals that we have for our library programs that year. And I must admit, that maybe once or twice I didn't put a whole lot of thought into them. But going into my 11th year as a librarian, I figured it was time to take my librarianship up a notch, so here are 3 of my goals.
Goal #1: Professional Development
As I grew to have more years in the library under my belt, I became comfortable with what I was doing in the library and didn't not feel the need to seek out a lot of "extra" professional development (and unfortunately Pinterest doesn't count as PD). This year, I am going hunting for some new opportunities to take me out of my comfort zone as well as opportunities for presenting to my staff.
Goal #2: Technology
The teachers at my campus all received 3 iPads per class last year and a SMART board this year. Last year, I did a lot of modeling of iPad lessons, apps and integration and this year I want to continue to utilize the iPads as much as possible but also model advanced uses and integration for the SMART board.
Goal #3: Networking and Professional Learning Communities
Last spring, I let my poor blog slide. I am recommitting to blogging multiple times every week as well as networking with other librarians and teachers through other forms of social media.
What goals have you set for yourself this year?
