** The Indispensable Library Media Specialist **
=== You know you’re indispensable, but do others? Convert your teachers by educating, collaborating, and effectively communicating with them. Advocate for your program to your administrators. Build relationships with your community, including your students’ families, public libraries, and area businesses. This session will leave you empowered to share all the positive things you do with your administrators, teachers, and community members. === === //Debra Golden (////dgolden@wallkillcsd.k12.ny.us////) is a library media specialist at the John G. Borden Middle School in Wallkill, NY. She has given a number of workshops on both literature and technology related topics for educators. She has come to recognize that no library media specialist is an island (even those in elementary where library time is the classroom teacher’s prep) and one can only reach students through collaboration with one’s peers.// ===
