This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My wonderful students come from the neighborhood around the school and are a delight to teach. We are a Title I school, and the boys and girls represent a diverse population. I love my position as the school librarian and enjoy seeing the classes once per week. I do a variety of activities with my students and always want to learn more. They get so excited when we come to the library and learn new things in different and unique ways. Literacy in our primary focus in the library.
My Project
I would love to attend the Tennessee Association of School Librarians (TASL) Conference in Murfreesboro, TN on September 29 – October 1, 2019. TASL is the only state organization specifically established to meet the needs of school librarians, and this opportunity is one of the few events in our state with professional development that is designed primarily for school librarians. The focus of this year’s conference is “Dare to Imagine,” and the sessions will impart ideas and practices that we can adopt in our school library to ensure that our students are prepared with all the skills that they need to succeed in the future.
In this era of high-stakes education, research has shown that strong library programs can significantly impact student achievement.
Attendees will be immersed in professional development sessions, valuable networking activities, and discussions with award-winning authors all designed to help librarians build and strengthen the school library program. I have no doubt that attending TASL will be invaluable to my role in improving student achievement and supporting learning in our school. Thank you for considering this wonderful opportunity for my students and myself.
