Strategic+Planning-January+2011

= __** Elementary Level **__ = = Areas cited as strengths on the survey (along with the reasons why): = = 1. __Resources and materials__ = WSCSD very good for budget for the LMC. Based on librarians interaction and SLAWNY involvement. 2. __Resource sharing__ District technology involvement. Cataloging Monthly meetings Technology Book & Bagel parties SLAwny resources/fellow LMS 3. __Education Technology__ District Tech Library advisory committee

=** Areas cited as weaknesses on the survey (along with the reasons why): **= 1. __Reporting__ – to higher level and administration whether we should report or not…and to whom? 2. __Program Planning & Evaluation__ – random collection – whether building based or district-wide? Possibly the possibility of monitoring, assessing and analyzing to informed decisions.

= __ Middle School Level __ = = Areas cited as strengths on the survey (along with the reasons why): =

Strengths - Intellectual freedom - respect privacy (students) - isafe/works cited

- Resource sharing - Destiny = opportunities and inconsistencies - done __through__ us (the librarians)

- 3rd: Staffing - East = 4 - West = 3 (by default)

=** Areas cited as weaknesses on the survey (along with the reasons why): **= - Reporting = communication with principal

- low return on investment - end of year? rushed time - more “bang for buck”? i.e. invite principal to an event

- Prog. planning and evaluation - lack of time for post-project follow-up - don’t want to make more work - don’t evaluate colleagues, evaluate __process__ - no library committee – made score lower

- Program advocacy - criteria seemed for a 2+ person library, not just __us__ - to host event/contest (not grade-bsed) is cumbersome - more bang for buck

= __** High School Level **__ = = Areas cited as strengths on the survey (along with the reasons why): =

High – Reading Intellectual Freedom Resource sharing – district, not our focus

High – Reading – district-wide strong Intellectual Freedom – passionate, follow procedure

=** Areas cited as weaknesses on the survey (along with the reasons why): **=
