Schools. She’s the next president-elect of OASL, helped draft the

Last night she was recognized for her outstanding service at the PPS Board

maintains a positive and active spirit to improve the practice of librarians

leadership to dispel myths about the roles of librarians in an effort to turn
the tide of firing librarians and replacing them with parent volunteers or
untrained employees. She also continually works to improve her knowledge and
practice with instructional technology, literacy and content standards, and
accommodation practices for high achieving and struggling students. She in
turns shares this to other curriculum leaders and teachers throughout the
district.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
