DESCRIPTION
The new Professional Teaching Standards and evaluation tool represent a renewed focus on teacher leadership. School librarians and instructional technologists are uniquely poised to lead in the school and to support teachers in developing their leadership capacity. We share resources to fulfill teachers’ professional development needs, including Web 2.0 tools to make the evaluation process easier.TRANSCRIPT
