This week I was able to visit Elite's Scholar Academy and Pointe South Middle School. I enjoyed going to each school to see how the media center was run. When I visit Pointe South Middle School the media specialist told me that her struggle was getting students to check out books. The media specialist is going to try new incentives to get the kids into the library. Next, I visited Elite's Scholar Academy which was a totally different environment. The school is a magnet school so I saw a lot of parents volunteer in the media center. The only struggle that the media specialist is having is getting the teachers to collaborate with her. She told me teachers will tell her they want to collaborate but never do. Her solution was to go to the classroom and collaborate with the teachers which I thought was a good idea. She also bring books to the class for students to check out. This week was very informative about how different elementary, middle, and high school media center is ran. I learned so much from each media specialist and they gave me good advice on things that I can do when I become a media specialist. One thing that I heard repeatedly was build a relationship with the teachers and administrators. Pictures of Pointe South Middle School Visit Elite Scholars Academy
