Kristin's+Story

Kristin is beginning her third year as the school media specialist at College Park Elementary School in Pike Township, Indianapolis, Indiana. She has also worked as a children's librarian in a public library and as a media specialist at another school.


 * __Highlights from my interview with Kristin:__**


 * She has a flexible schedule, so her media center is open access. Every day is different, and she likes it that way. :)
 * Her daily schedule is managed using Microsoft Outlook, and all staff can access her schedule online.
 * Monique, her assistant, is there every day but is often "pulled" for duties and small group work with students.
 * Kristin is required to create and submit an annual report with media center statistics to school administrators, and then post it in the hallway outside the media center.
 * She does collaborative projects with classroom teachers, as well as with administrators and technical services to create learning opportunities for students and teachers.
