Priorities

Priorities need to be juggled. The number one priority should be student needs. Cooper and Bray suggest "The reality is there will be some tasks that just don’t get done and others that will be done minimally. “It is imperative, however, that the focus of the school library media specialist’s efforts remain on things that most directly impact instruction, efforts that often involve collaboration with
teacher colleagues.” Cooper & Bray( 2011)p55
I think it is easy to lose sight of the top priorities when there is so much that needs doing. Delegate admin tasks wherever possible and focus on student needs and motivating factors.
