Vision Mission Goals Objectives of the Library Media Center

LIB 601 Learning and Libraries Fall 2009,[object Object],Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives for the School Library Media Center,[object Object],And what’s the difference?,[object Object]

What Are All These Words?,[object Object],Vision?,[object Object],Mission?,[object Object],Goals?,[object Object],Objectives?,[object Object]

Vision?,[object Object],What is a vision?,[object Object],A vision is a clear, comprehensive ‘photograph’ of an organization at some point in the future. It provides direction because it describes what the organization needs to be like, to be successful within the future. ,[object Object],Visions and Values http://www.changedesigns.co.za/Visions_and_values.htm,[object Object]

How Do Visions Start?,[object Object],Where Do They Come From?,[object Object],A strategic vision can arise . . . with an idea for a new service, an unrecognised need, an innovative source of funding, or an expressed demand. What is necessary is to be allowed to expand that notion or idea into a clear picture of how things could be different, how things could be truly better, how natural creativity might be applied in our organisation or project.,[object Object],What is a Vision?http://www2.fhs.usyd.edu.au/arow/o/m05/vision.htm,[object Object]

AASL Vision Statement ,[object Object],The American Association of School Librarians is: ,[object Object],A proactive organization that addresses issues, anticipates trends, and sets the future agenda for the profession; ,[object Object],An advocate for the indispensable role of school library media programs with school library media specialists, for best practices in school librarianship, and for the core values and ethics of the library profession;,[object Object],An open, friendly, welcoming organization that embraces cultural and ethnic diversity; [More],[object Object],http://www.ala.org/ala/aasl/aboutaasl/aaslvision/aaslvisionstatement.htm,[object Object]

What About Mission?,[object Object],A Mission is a Statement of Purpose,[object Object],The Purpose is a clear and succinct statement of the reason the organisation or project exists. It brings clarity of purpose to members of the organisation, and broad direction as to what members of the organisation should be aiming for. It includes:,[object Object],The purpose ,[object Object],The core function(s) ,[object Object],The main methods used to reach those purposes ,[object Object],The general thrust of future operations ,[object Object],The major direction of changeStatement of Purpose (Mission Formulation)http://www2.fhs.usyd.edu.au/arow/o/m05/statpurp8.htm,[object Object]

Let’s Be Clear!,[object Object],Vision and Mission are different,[object Object],The statement of purpose and the mission statement are the same thing. A vision statement is not. There are many poorly developed mission statements. To study an effective process to produce bad mission statements, visit this Mission Statement Generator on the web at http://www.harding.motd.ca/cgi-bin/msgen,[object Object],Formulating the Statement of Purposehttp://www2.fhs.usyd.edu.au/arow/o/m05/statpurp8.htm,[object Object]

Mission according to AASL?,[object Object],Mission of the School Library Media Program,[object Object],The mission of the library media program is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. The school library media specialist (SLMS) empowers students to be critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, skillful researchers, and ethical users of information . . . ,[object Object]

Sample Mission Statement,[object Object],Henry County Middle SchoolLibrary Media Center ,[object Object],The Mission of the Henry County Middle School Library Media Center is to provide activities and resources that will assist students and staff in becoming effective and discriminating users of information, developing a pattern of lifelong learning, and in fostering a love of reading.,[object Object], Mission Statement ,[object Object]

A district-wide example,[object Object],Fayette county schools, Kentucky,[object Object],The purpose of Media Services in keeping with the mission of Fayette County Public Schools is to provide people power, guidelines, and know-how to design excellent school library media programs that boost student achievement. ,[object Object],Showcasing FCPS,[object Object]

Another Important Point,[object Object],Formulating the mission statement should come after the value scan has been completed.,[object Object],Formulating the Statement of Purpose,[object Object],http://www2.fhs.usyd.edu.au/arow/o/m05/statpurp8.htm,[object Object]

Values?,[object Object],What are values?,[object Object],A value is that which we believe is good. Our values are our enduring beliefs that some ways of acting, some ways of being or some things are personally or socially preferable to other modes of conduct, actions or things. . . . A statement of values . . . provides the individual and the organisation with norms to guide their work. ,[object Object],Values Scanhttp://www2.fhs.usyd.edu.au/arow/o/m05/valscan.htm,[object Object]

Vision and Values,[object Object],Both are needed ,[object Object],In any major transformation, the two most important change tools an organisation can use are vision and values. Values provides the trust and appropriate behaviours needed for success. Vision provides the direction and inspiration. These two interventions provide 80% of the benefits using only 20% of the leader's energy. ,[object Object],Visions and Values http://www.changedesigns.co.za/Visions_and_values.htm,[object Object]

They all go together,[object Object],Vision, Philosophy and Mission,[object Object],It is important that all the components of a long range plan fit visibly into a well-organized document that starts with the district's educational vision, philosophy and mission and moves logically into the library media program's vision, philosophy and mission. Then the plan progresses to goals and activities that are derived from that mission. ,[object Object],Long Range Planning for School Library Media Programhttp://www.dpi.state.wi.us/imt/slmplngrng.html,[object Object]

What About Goals and Objectives?,[object Object],Goals are an expected or desired outcome of a planning process. Goals are usually broad, general expressions of the guiding principles and aspirations of a community.,[object Object],Objectives are precise targets that are necessary to achieve goals. Objectives are detailed statements of quantitatively or qualitatively measurable results the plan hopes to accomplish.,[object Object],What are goals and objectives? ,[object Object]

Goals and Objectives in a School Library Media Context,[object Object],Goals and Objectives:,[object Object],Goals can be rather broad, but they should be focused as directly as possible on student learning outcomes in order to be perceived as valid by decision-makers. (For example: All students will be able to access, use, and evaluate information in any medium, and use that information to solve problems, communicate clearly, make informed decisions, and construct new knowledge.) Generally, goals should be few in number, since each of them can generate more than one objective; and each objective might generate more than one activity to accomplish it. ,[object Object],Long Range Planning for School Library Media Programs http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/imt/slmplngrng.html,[object Object]

Sample Goal and Objectives,[object Object],Goal 2: ,[object Object],Improve the media center learning environment so that it is more conducive to constructive student activity by providing more adult supervision and assistance ,[object Object],Objectives: ,[object Object],Develop a plan for recruiting volunteers, including incentives and guidelines ,[object Object],Develop a training program for media center volunteers ,[object Object],Implement plan and assess after one year,[object Object],YOU ARE THE KEY... Program Development,[object Object]

International statements,[object Object],IFLA/UNESCO School Library Manifesto,[object Object],[object Object]

The school library provides information and ideas that are fundamental to functioning successfully in today's information and knowledge-based society. The school library equips students with life-long learning skills and develops the imagination, enabling them to live as responsible citizens. http://www.ifla.org/VII/s11/pubs/manifest.htm,[object Object]

IFLA Guidelines,[object Object]

IASL Policy Statement on School Libraries,[object Object],The school library is central to the fulfillment of the instructional goals and objectives of the school and promotes this through a planned program of acquisition and organization of information technology and dissemination of materials to expand the learning environment of all students. A planned program of teaching information skills in partnership with classroom teachers and other educators is an essential part of the school library program. ,[object Object],http://www.iasl-online.org/about/handbook/policysl.html,[object Object]
