Part 3: Summary

In completing the evaluation of the media center, I discovered that the media center is working
at a proficient level. That being said, there is a lot of room for growth. The media center is not
working efficiently, collaborating with teachers, or providing a facility that the teachers and
students think to use as a learning space. The action plan that has been set forth will address all
of the concerns of the media specialist. Being able to provide a space that is effective for
students and teachers is the main concern. Students and teachers should feel like the media
center is a hub of the school. The media specialist would like to b e able to collaborate with
teachers and create lessons that will promote authentic learning experiences for the students.
The action plan will help move the media center into being a 21st century space for the students
and teachers. Media specialist is going to need the support of the administration and district to
move the media center forward. It will involve the whole school to create a space the is to
become the center of the school. It will require moving the A/V lab to the career tech classroom
as well as acquiring some equipment for the media center. The media specialist is confident that
the changes will vastly improve the space and the use of the space. Students and teachers
need a space that they can use for a collaborative learning space. The changes proposed will
help create this space.
