Collaboration with the media specialist and the teachers is important to enhancing classroom curriculum and supporting content standards.

Stakeholder suggestions include coordinating lessons and a school-wide calendar.

Goal 2:
- Become the information center for the students, staff, and the community by implementing the following:
- A parent resource center with community information and resources.
- Provide professional development and training to educators.
“Library media centers are the nucleus of the school and will continue to be the center of learning.” (AASL, 2009). The nucleus of the school reaches out to the students, the staff, and the community. The student as a whole is supported by many different components. Offering parent resources offers support to the families and to the student outside of the school walls. According to the stakeholder survey over 75% of the people polled would like to see parent resources in the media center. Training teachers on technology integrates various tools into the classrooms. Our diverse world creates diverse learners. Students have different exceptionalities and different learning styles. Some students may need academic support, while others need a multi-media resources for projects. The library should have the ability to support each diverse student and promote information literacy.

Goal 3:
- Lead and support the 21st Century learner by:
- Providing a range of curriculum-based resources in a variety of formats: books, magazines, eBooks and on-line services.
- Providing technology which enhances communication, presentation and research skills.
A 21st Century educator teaches a variety of skills. The students and the staff must learn to navigate in a global society. “The teaching of core subjects is interwoven with 21st-century interdisciplinary themes; learning and innovation skills; life and career skills; and information media, and technology skills.” (AASL, 2009). Students and staff need access to resources in a variety of formats. Students and staff also need to be educated on how to use those resources to benefit their learning experience. The media center specialist is the leader of information literacy. The role of the media center specialist includes ongoing research and education to offer the most recent technology options possible. According to the stakeholders survey the majority of the people who answered the questions believe the media center needs more current resources. The need to become a 21st Century learner is important to our stakeholders.

Goal 4:
- Remain current with all legal guidelines and professional ethics; update all policies, procedures, and guidelines accordingly; and publicly post all current policies, procedures, and guidelines for staff, students, and parents.
Legal guidelines and ethical use of information is a top priority for a media specialist. Following and conveying the policies and procedures of the school is very important. According to Empowering Learners the media specialist is the expert on legislation, policies, and procedures (AASL, 2009). The stakeholder survey shows that half of the people polled do not feel the media center information, policies, and procedures are easily accessible. An important part of connecting the school and community to the media center is offering information and open communication. The media center is also responsible for teaching digital citizenship and copy-right laws to help the students and staff use information ethically.
