Subject: [aaslforum] Netday Speak up Survey

To all school librarians in and out of the library!

This is another chance for our educational voice to be heard across the country.
This survey really  helped us last year with changing the direction of the recognition of the teacher librarian expertise.

We need you to fill this out and pass it on to all school librarians.

Here is the link to this year's Netday Speak Up from Project Tomorrow.
This survey is designed for


*   Teacher Librarians
*   Teachers
*   Students
*   Parents
*   Administrators

to voice our opinion about the use of technology at school and uniquely there is a section just for school librarians!.
You will find it under "TEACHERS"

Here is the link to the survey:
http://www.speakup4schools.org/speakup2011/

You can get the secret word from your school district.  If they do not have one you can establish one with Netday Speak Up directly.

One of the questions on the survey is for Teacher Librarians.   I wanted to give you an idea of why this national survey is so important for us.

"Based upon the Speak Up results from last year, we believe that the role of a district or school librarian media specialist is more important than ever with all of the new interest in using digital content. But what is your vision for the role of the librarian media specialist? How do you see yourself and your peers impacting the productivity of students and teachers? What would you want policymakers to know about the value of librarian media specialists in schools today? This is your chance to speak up - we are listening! "
