Abstract | Whether it is high school, middle school, or elementary school, the library media specialist hits the ground running each day. For many, their background is the classroom, and, as media specialists, they have taken on the largest classroom in the school. Leadership is the ability to influence or inspire others to achieve shared goals. The media specialist's leadership is demonstrated daily via interaction with administrators, teachers, students, parent volunteers, and community partners. An active participant in curriculum reform, she or he may serve as the delivery person for new state standards. Media specialists often are leaders in promoting new technology for teacher and student use. Knowing that reading is essential to learning, they seek to balance new ways to promote reading as a pleasurable, life-long habit. Media specialists collaborate and share instructional responsibilities with fellow teachers. This article describes the leadership opportunities and roles for library media specialists, and innovative methods of helping students learn. As long as students attend school and teachers teach, media specialists will have a leadership role in making sure curriculum needs are addressed and media centers are places of learning. (ERIC). |
