I thought this was a great project! I
love astronomy so getting to choose
my own topic was awesome. I hope
that in our other units, we can do
PROJECTS LIKE THIS again!

31. The era of working quietly and modestly is past. It's time to communicate and
celebrate our successes with all our stakeholders and our colleagues, through
traditional venues and social media. I truly believe that "what is
obvious to you is amazing to others" and that we can only
"BE THE CHANGE" when we share and learn together.

32. "Library/media specialists have always been the "GO-TO" PEOPLE
to find information and for schools to flourish in the 21st Century, We need people in
this role who understand how to continue to be this "go-to" person. Additionally, we need
administrators who provide the necessary resources for library/media specialists
so that they can meet this challenge and support students and staff."

33. Powerful educational trends are remaking schools and classrooms. Teacher librarians
must see beyond their libraries to lead, teach and support student learning in new ways.
Despite perceptions to the contrary, their experience and skills are more valuable than
ever. The challenge to both teacher librarians and administrators is to understand and
acknowledge this. And to DO SOMETHING about it.
