​MDE Effective School Library Toolkit for Administrators

Download the MDE Effective School Library Toolkit for Administrators.
 
The Michigan Department of Education Effective School Library Toolkit for Administrators is intended to provide school district administrators and MDE field services personnel with information about the components of an effective school library program in order to expand Michigan students’ access to such programs.

The Effective School Library Administrator Toolkit includes a graphic, descriptions of the “what, why, and how” of effective school library programs, links to short video lessons, references, and additional resources.


Library Media Placements Update

MAME worked with the Michigan Department of Education, Office of Professional Preparation Services, (OPPS)  to create a help sheet or "quick sheet" to assist Superintendents and other school administrators in understanding proper placement of ND certified personnel (School Librarians/Media Specialists).

The Library Media Placements document can be found here.​
