=Elevator Speech Script: "Librarians--The Leading Ingredient" = Soooo. As a principal, you’d like to create the next-to-perfect school. The recipe for whipping up such a school includes one part student achievement, one part ongoing staff development, one part collaborative teaching among your faculty, aligned with state and national standards, and a healthy portion of 21st century technology, utilized by students and faculty. And what is the leading ingredient in this recipe for academic greatness? Your school librarian, of course! Was that not the answer you expected? Well here is why it’s the right answer. Through our unique training and educational experience, school librarians are equipped to step forward and collaborate with teachers and co-teach with them, work directly with students in instructional capacities, and train teachers and students to become 21st -century learners. We understand your concerns. Student achievement, measured by standardized tests. Providing teachers with ongoing professional development, hopefully creating a staff that uses evidence-based instruction and technology. And blending together a culture of collaboration with innovation. School librarians are professionally equipped to help you with all of those issues, so that you don’t have to worry about putting any of them on the back burner. Today’s school librarians should be doing more than just read-alouds and checking books in and out. We have the skills to collaborate, co-teach, and plan meaningful lessons with other teachers. And we can help you provide the job-embedded professional development your faculty needs. We take these responsibilities seriously and understand how to work together with other faculty members for the sake of the students. Utilize your school librarian as the leader they are trained to be, and you’ll see student achievement go from simmer to boiling hot!
