This is slightly overwhelming but exciting to beginning the practicum part of the Library Media Specialist certification I am adding on to my Instructional Technology masters degree. This week has been spent going over the syllabus, checklists, and the LMS webpage. There is a lot of information to digest. Setting forth a plan of action to make sure everything is done on time will be critical. I do have a slight advantage because this is my second year as Cedar Ridge Elementary's LMS. It is also a disadvantage because we are so large and I have a lot of responsibilities here at the school.
Jenny Pressley is the Media Specialist at Brookwood Elementary School. Last year, she became a mentor of mine in this new journey I had begun. She has agreed to be my site supervisor. My principal is aware of the work that I need to do in order to finish up and said she can be flexible as long as I keep up with my responsibilities. With that being said, I then have to consider how I can delegate some of my responsibilities to others until I get through the practicum.
I have located two other sites which I will visit. Both of them are very close to my school so travel will be very minimal. The two sites are Harlem Middle School and Harlem High School. I contacted both and they were happy to assist me in anything I need. I will have to move quick on both of these schools though. Luckily, I used these locations during my last practicum and they are more than willing to help.
I did pass the 2 GACE exams that I needed for SLM this summer. Now I just need to find some time and get through this practicum.
