A is for ADVOCACY School Library Networks: Influencing education policy and reform

Abstract

A is for Advocacy provides a framework for library media teachers to consider the local opportunities they have to influence educational policy and reform. Library media teachers can build on personal strengths find opportunities at hand and capitalize on connections. Four main ideas will be developed: the message they want to spread, the mode in which they want to work, the means by which they can influence others, and how to build momentum to carry through their work.
