As my applied project for my Ed.S. at UGA I am working on another Georgia Exemplary Library Media Application. Last year, as I worked on our CMS Media Center Program Development Plan, I decided I would use the Georgia Exemplary Library Rubric as a guiding document for the program's goals. With this end in mind, our program was eventually nominated several times over for the Georgia Exemplary Library Media Program in the 2009-10 school year. I then spent a month or more gathering data and working with my co-writer, friend, and our school art teacher, Laura Lee Johnson to create and edit and re-edit and re-edit the 6 page (single spaced) application.
That spring I was named the CMS Teacher of the Year and eventually, Laura Lee and I finished the application and submitted it. During the summer I recieved an email from Judy Serritella congratulating me that the Clarke Middle School Media Program was named an Exceptional Library Media Program by the Georgia Department of Education. I was very excited and honored. There are 3 programs named at the middle level for Georgia Exemplary and 5 named Georgia Exceptional. I was so proud that our program was considered one of the top 8 in the state. So for me I felt the only natural next step would be to resubmit and try for the Exemplary again.
The purpose of this blog is to follow my media program in order to document the daily happenings and to guide my progress toward the Georgia Exemplary Library Media Program application for the 2010-11 school year. Hope you enjoy the journey! :)
