Yucht, Alice. "Professional Development is a Personal Responsibility." School Libraries: What's New, What's Now, What's Yet to Come. 2011.
The author of this article, retired Teacher-Librarian/Blogger, discussed important practices of Professional Learning Networks, which took on the form of the mnemonic SHARE: Seek out gurus, Harness technology, Add and Adapt, Read, Reflect, and Repurpose, and Engage and Encourage. Information is so abundant that it is almost impossible for a single individual to take it all in, but if school librarians share resources and tips with one another, it lightens the load on everyone else.
That it does--professional development=collaboration.
ReplyDeleteAnd to piggy-back on Marty's comment, I feel that collaboration always makes me feel more confident. I like this mnemonic...thanks for sharing!
