 * || **GOAL 1** ||
 * **What is your long-term goal? ** || //**Information literacy skills**// are integrated through //**collaborative efforts**// of the LMS and teachers. ||
 * **How does this goal relate to the media center mission? ** || The mission of the Jane Riley Media Center is to support the vision and mission of Hickory Hills Arts Academy as it applies to the campus-wide instructional program and goals. The mission of Hickory Hills Arts Academy is to prepare students for life success through an academically rigorous environment enhanced with the arts. This goal will support that academically rigorous environment in our school as it directly applies to the implementation of the Common Core Standards. ||
 * **According to your service evaluation and needs assessment, where are you in relation to the goal? ** || We have begun to work collaboratively with fifth grade to reach this goal. We have not been able to work with any other grade levels intensively because of classroom scheduling and lack of library coverage. Outreach to individual teachers in the other grade levels has been more effective. ||
 * **What objectives will support your goal? ** || We strive for students to demonstrate confidence and self-direction by making independent choices in the selection of resources and information. Through being able to successfully access multiple resources and formats, students will be able to demonstrate depth of knowledge and creativity in their learning. ||
 * **What resources/personnel will be needed to implement your objectives? ** || The LMS will need a full-time paraprofessional media clerk to keep the library open while collaboratively teaching and planning. As this is not feasible, we are seeking creative solutions and input at this time. The school will need access to quality print and digital reference resources and an updated non-fiction collection. ||
 * **What specific problems do you anticipate? ** || The media clerk is only available an hour and fifteen minutes in the morning and an hour and forty-five minutes in the afternoon to cover the circulation desk and work with students. This allows for a limited amount of time for flexible scheduling of collaborative teaching with classes within the school workshop model. Because of the budget allotted to the school, acquiring quality resources will take time. Alternative funding sources may be necessary. ||
 * **What are possible solutions to these problems? What is the best alternative, given personnel, time, resources, money and space? ** || The library could be put on limited access during collaborative lessons, but that is not the best alternative. The LMS will just continue to seek simple collaboration opportunities that require specific, concentrated skill delivery. ||
 * **Budgeted cost to accomplish goal? ** || We will ideally need personnel resources and pay and monies allocated to purchasing quality reference and non-fiction resources. The infrastructure and wireless internet access will have to be improved to allow increased use of wireless internet. Laptops and desktop computers will be necessary. ||

 * || **GOAL 2** ||
 * ** What is your long-term goal? ** || The LMS actively plans and implements **project-based learning opportunities** with teachers. ||
 * ** How does this goal relate to the media center mission? ** || The mission of the Jane Riley Media Center is to support the vision and mission of Hickory Hills Arts Academy as it applies to the campus-wide instructional program and goals. The mission of Hickory Hills Arts Academy is to prepare students for life success through an academically rigorous environment enhanced with the arts. This goal will support that academically rigorous environment in our school in that project-based learning is a skill that is applicable in the real world. ||
 * ** According to your service evaluation and needs assessment, where are you in relation to the goal? ** || We have worked with individual classes to implement special instances of project-based learning over the last few years. Not all grade levels or classes are implementing this model, though. ||
 * ** What objectives will support your goal? ** || Students will use technology and other information tools to organize and display knowledge and understanding in ways that others can view, use and assess. Students will interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media. ||
 * ** What resources/personnel will be needed to implement your objectives? ** || The LMS will need a full-time paraprofessional media clerk to keep the library open while collaboratively teaching and planning. As this is not feasible, we are seeking creative solutions and input at this time. In terms of resources, the LMS and classroom teacher will be able to collect the materials needed for the students to make the projects from local holdings. The LMS will need to work directly with classroom teachers to plan the learning activities. ||
 * ** What specific problems do you anticipate? ** || The media clerk is only available an hour and fifteen minutes in the morning and an hour and forty-five minutes in the afternoon to cover the circulation desk and work with students. This allows for a limited amount of time for flexible scheduling of collaborative teaching with classes within the structured school workshop model. Teachers are bound by the models and collaboration at the classroom level is limited. ||
 * ** What are possible solutions to these problems? ** || With the implementation of the Common Core Standards, the movement of gifted services to our campus, the opening of the new science lab, and the development of Showcase Nights each quarter, we should be able to collaboratively work more with teachers on project-based learning. Project-based learning will be an important part of the academic design in these areas. ||
 * ** What is the best alternative, given personnel, time, resources, money and space? ** || Project-based learning will either have to occur in the library so that the LMS can work the circulation desk and facilitate whole-class instruction at the same time, or the LMS will have to push into classrooms during open blocks corresponding with the appropriate workshop model block. ||
 * ** Budgeted cost to accomplish goal? ** || None in terms of media. Teachers will need access to consumable instructional supplies as materials for the projects. They will also need on-demand access to laptops with wireless internet access. ||

 * || ** GOAL 3 ** ||
 * ** What is your long-term goal? ** || The Jane Riley Media Center will **update, extend and enhance its available collection and database** through well-planned and strategic projects and purchasing in order to offer users, students and staff alike, an easily accessible, current and accurate collection. ||
 * ** How does this goal relate to the media center mission? ** || The mission of the Jane Riley Media Center is to support the vision and mission of Hickory Hills Arts Academy as it applies to the campus-wide instructional program and goals. The mission of Hickory Hills Arts Academy is to prepare students for life success through an academically rigorous environment enhanced with the arts. In order to provide an academically rigorous environment, students and staff need open access to updated learning resources, whether in the classroom or in the media center. ||
 * ** According to your service evaluation and needs assessment, where are you in relation to the goal? ** || We are just beginning to address this goal and still feel we haven't reached full effectiveness due to personnel and budgeting restrictions. The aging infrastructure and nonstandardized collection management has been a hinderance to momentum in the objectives. ||
 * ** What objectives will support your goal? ** || The goal is a total renewal of the media collection through a sytematic review of each category of materials so that areas of specialization can be strengthened to meet curricular emphasis and weeded for age and use with specific consideration given the the characteristics of the adult and child users. (Doll, et al 2002) ||
 * ** What resources/personnel will be needed to implement your objectives? ** || A full-time LMS, a media clerk and community volunteers will be needed to complete our objectives. ||
 * ** What specific problems do you anticipate? ** || Budget cuts will affect funding. ||
 * ** What are possible solutions to these problems? What is the best alternative, given personnel, time, resources, money **** and space? ** || We will dedicate more and more of the yearly media budget to this intiative and will actively seek commiserate Title and grant funds to facilitate this update. ||
 * ** Budgeted cost to accomplish goal? ** || $30,000 for new books and for supplies to update the existing collection so it is more accurately accessible ||
