I am endorsing Dina Reitmeyer for #Creativity because she collaborated with a government teacher to incorporate Google Keep into a research project on Federal Agencies. #engage2learn @Disd_Libraries @LibraryWTWhite

By cutting staff in school libraries, you are upsetting the social-emotional well-being of some students that feel the library is the only safe space for them in the school.

I am endorsing Dina Reitmeyer for #Problem-Solving/Creativity/Innovation because she made her Makerspace more visible and accesssible and promoted it more by creating flyers and posting them around her school! #engage2learn @LibraryWTWhite @Disd_libraries @richellereads @sdterry

The most important thing school librarians can #curate is relationships - with students, staff, parents, & the community at large. Having the best library collection in the world doesn't matter if people aren't at the center of the work. #tlchat #futurereadylibs #aaslstandards
