This "Innovations and Opportunities" course is really providing me with a needed opportunity to think about what I am doing professionally.  So far I feel that I have been on track with the changes and expectations with my role.  Unfortunately, at some points, I feel this is because of luck or by accident.  It is definitely time to begin planning more carefully and being more intentional about how I focus my efforts.

We completed an exercise comparing the school librarian's roles and responsibilities with that of the building principal.  There were many, many shared areas of responsibility.  The commonalities were more numerous than I would have guessed.  For me this means that there are many avenues that I can use to support our building goals.  I need to consider potential impact in areas that had not previously occurred to me.  It also means that I need to make sure that I am in contact with my principal making sure that I offer the support and services to meet our goals.

We also completed a self-assessment regarding our level of involvement in the integration of technology and our leadership roles.  Again, I have had many opportunities to share new resources with teachers and students and sit on several technology related committees.  I am involved.  Now I need to be strategic.  My professional practice and the library program have improved and are good but now we are rolling along and it is time to ramp up.  This will require a plan.  I am hoping that between the projects to be completed in the remainder of the course and my new L4L planning guide program there will be progress made!
