Re: [LM_NET] Target: 10 min. introduction

[Betty Copeland <copelandb@HAYSCISD.NET>]

10 minutes is NOT enough for an introduction, library procedures, and whatever 
else!  I would schedule procedures and everything else for departmental meetings, 
grade-level meetings, etc.  With this "intro" for the whole faculty, I would 
suggest a brief history of your background--previous schools,
education, etc., and then focus on your philosophy of literacy, learning and 
listening -- that you are there for your faculty-- you value their imput -- you 
keep "wish lists" of needs from faculty AND students -- but your focus is on 
collaboration, collection needs and community!  (GEEZ-- I'm
really into the alphabet tonight -- my mind is racing and I can get quite creative 
at night!)  Maybe read something of importance to you, or a poem that reflects your 
insight into what you feel might be a goal for this year.  Good luck!  Middle 
school and junior high kids are awesome!
