On December 1st, I will begin a new venture as the School Library Systems Director for Allegany-Cattaraugus BOCES. I will be supporting other school librarians, and advocating for school libraries as we are an essential part of every school! We are partners in education, have a vast knowledge of resources (print & digital) for students, teachers and parents, and contribute to a life-long love of reading and learning in children. We are knowledgeable in Inquiry-Based Curriculum and collaborate with teachers to engage students in their own learning, one of the important paradigm shifts in education as evidenced in the Common Core State Standards. We are responsible for teaching information and literacy skills, (a challenging task with so much information readily available), maintaining a current collection of resource materials in print and digital formats, keeping up with technology trends and numerous other teaching and administrative responsibilities. It has been a great experience at GVCS!
