Just to second what Matt said, I served on a NEASC visiting committee last month and it was an excellent experience. It's totally exhausting, but it's the best PD you'll have, spending four days with a committee of dedicated educators and immersing yourself into another school. The Library Media Center and its resources, staffing and role in the school are a key part of the report, so it's great to have a school librarian on the committee.

Subject: [CASL-L] NEASC Wants You!

The Committee on Public Secondary Schools at New England Association of Schools and Colleges is seeking library media specialists from our member schools to serve on visiting teams. The dates of theses visits are: March 5-8, March 26-29, and April 2-5. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Melissa Spinosa, Team Coordinator, at mspinosa@neasc.org.

I’ve served on two visiting committees as LMS. They are great for understanding NEASC and for getting a building wide perspective on your LMS program. They are a lot of work, but you also learn a great deal. If anyone has any questions, I’m happy to help.
