8:45-8:55 signing in and networking
The Media-Library Educator Network (MLEN) provides a forum for school site librarians, library paraprofessionals, administrators, instructional coaches, and support providers to discuss issues related to the provision of media library services. Participation in the MLEN is an opportunity to receive and share information related to the supports and outcomes outlined in the Model Library Standards and relevant library frameworks. MLEN participants will receive information and resources to assist them in refining their existing media-library services. In addition, networking and collaboration will assist with the ongoing development of exemplary practices and identified outcomes.
Educational leaders who are interested in fostering the development of media-library services in their schools are encouraged to attend and take advantage of the collective capital that can be gained in learning and networking with colleagues, implementers, and advocates in the development of model media-library services.
