Best wishes, The Oracle Education Foundation DIY photo booths! – Teen Services Underground I think photo booths are one of the best ways to promote a program at your library. Your young patrons will get excited and ask to have their picture taken and ideally that photo will end up on social media organically promoting your program! But ultimately they can just look so cool and add a bit of whimsy to your branch! This was the first photo booth that I saw in a library and kids, teens and even adults were excited to have their picture taken. It was one of the coolest things in our library that summer! After this I began a long process of learning how to create booths efficiently in order to promote some of our big programs at the branch. My initial attempts relied on my limited painting ability. Making the Harry Potter car was a lot of fun but took so much time. A few months after this program I did a Star Wars photo booth. During the process I remembered Harry Potter’s face and found with a high quality photo of an x-wing I could enlarge it to a massive size! 4. 5. Printing. Save
EMINEM LYRICS - Mockingbird Yeah I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what daddy always tell you? Straighten up little soldier Stiffen up that upper lip What you crying about? You got me. Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad When I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry 'Cause you're scared, I ain't there? [Chorus:] Now hush little baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We feel how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby But I promise mama's gon' be alright [Chorus] Thanks to GeeQ3 for adding these lyrics.

A “To Be” List for School Librarians | SweetSearch2Day Earlier this year, a local Superintendent, faced with four retirement notices, asked my advice on what to look for when hiring new school librarians. She sought me out because I shared my ‘outsider’s” perspective on librarians in an article I wrote years ago for Forbes, and it went viral. Though nearly every word of it remains true, before I met with the Superintendent, I updated my perspective by asking a question on the Future Ready Librarians Facebook group. Several people suggested hiring based on character and personality. At the bottom of this post, I ask you again to contribute your opinions, and examples, of what a school librarian should BE – what traits and qualities a librarian must develop and practice each day. In presenting to this Superintendent and her team, I said that I believe that a school librarian should BE each of the following: The Fulcrum of the school: Plays an essential role by actively engaging with all faculty members to determine how to best support them.

"I think its okay, reverend, she doesn't understand it" Personalizing Professional Development For Teachers, By Teachers What do students need to be successful? Why not ask them directly? When we posed this question to our students at Bismarck Public Schools (BPS), here’s what some had to say to their teachers about what they need: “Give me more time to explore my interest.”“I like having a choice of what I get to do.”“I like when it’s challenging, but not to the point where I would want to give up.” All the wishes they’ve expressed are pieces of a personalized learning environment. Yet what does personalized professional development (PD) look like? We invited a team of 35 teachers from seven schools to design summer workshops focused on innovating formative assessment practices. Involve Learners Early and Often Working collaboratively with teachers in planning and designing this PD workshop allowed us to leverage the collective wisdom of all our teachers. Improving Feedback Practice What are feedback strategies that help to increase student engagement? Student Self-Assessment and Metacognition What’s Next?
