Elevator Speech Transcript
Good morning, Ms. White. I am so grateful to the school board for purchasing all the new iPads for the library. I know it has been a stressful year after receiving the reading scores for the STAAR test that were less than the desired results. Every student can become effective users of information if the right steps are taken between the librarian and classroom teachers. We can continue to use research-based strategies to increase the instructional level of our lessons. Through careful collaboration and meaningful partnerships among the stakeholders, we can increase our scores and better prepare our students for the 21st century. This generous technology donation will help facilitate this goal. I believe that students will love using the iPads to download e-books and conduct research. I want to be a collaborative partner with teachers to help increase students' technology and literacy skills by developing tutorials on how to download e-books and access databases and Internet searching. By working together with teachers, we can open doors for all students to utilize different tools for both keeping them engaged and increasing their reading scores. I would love for you to come observe a lesson I am co-teaching with Mrs. Leisnek next week using the library webpage to demonstrate to students everything the library has to offer.
