What Keith Curry Lance shares… Collaboration LeadershipTechnology Leadership CollaborationTechnology (Achterman, School Library Journal, 51)

How does your administrator see you??? None of these things…Poor experience with School Media Specialist The only department that has any money besides his or her department. A catch-all persons that does jobs he needs done, like staff development, study hall, setting up for convocations. A beacon to inspire and motivate others. A staff member focused on Standards and Curriculum A leader with a plan that incorporates all curricular areas A person to find out needs of staff, including technology. A good steward of allotted money
