Also - I created a " Newly assigned..to the twenty-first century! " PD series - really the PD I gave myself this year as I worked in collaboration with several school community stakeholders to re-invent the library - I thought it might be of interest to folks. Here is a teacher PD series I created for next year based on survey resutls I took with survey monkey (the questions were pulled from the Common Core standards. The library development plan I used created for 2011-12 is here.

Oh yeah, my latest idea for our next spring conference? Reinventing ideas about what constitutes “best practice,” let’s theme it “//Spectacular Failures: how your huge failure led to your biggest success!//” //What do you now do differently based on what you learned from something you tried that failed? How did that failure lead you to a better understand of your students as learners? How do you incorporate reflective practice into your professional life?//

I’m inspired both by this presentation from the 2011 ACRL conference, and by the doozies I made this year - mistakes and failures that have led me to create new teaching and collaboration tools that I will be tweeting in the fall. Follow me! ithssl@twitter.com and ithssl.amplfy.com
