| Advocacy...Learning to Speak Up! |
As Teacher Librarians, we are at a crucial point in our professional lives. There are budget pressures; there are curricular pressures; and there are political pressures. We have to become better communicators, learn how to speak up for ourselves, and learn how to speak the language of those who have power. In this workshop, you will learn how to create a clear and convincing statement about your vision for library work. You will learn how to speak to various stakeholders (newspaper, school board, political leaders) and you will be able to practice.
Michaela Miller is a National Board Certified Teacher (AYA/ELA) at River Ridge High School in Lacey, a National Board and Professional Certification facilitator and has spoken many times in front of the legislature, the newspaper, and her school board. She also works with the Center for Strengthening the Teaching Profession (CSTP) to put on a 3 day advocacy workshop each summer. |
