The requested title of « Iteration of building the plan » seems fitting for my plan, since my entire plan feels iterative. Rather than a physical redesign of one physical Library space, I am trying to think about how to continue to support and foster a reading culture and strong literacy practices for French Immersion schools. A digital corkboard was not a tool where I felt I could easily explain this long-term plan, but it was worthwhile learning about the tool. Given the iterative, long term and interconnected nature of this type of plan, a spiral corkboard (or a physical baby’s mobile!) may have worked better! That said, the 2D Linoit was enough of a technical challenge for me.
I find it difficult to focus on one specific aspect of a plan that involves many layers (collaboratively building lists with TLs and teachers of favourite French books at all levels, collaborating with teachers on lesson plans related to literacy, continuing to build upon French lit circle sets, sharing student projects such as book critiques and book talks across the district on digital library, continued pro-d related to second language literacy K-12, etc.). My experiences in the past years as. French Immersion teacher, instructor in pre-service and post-degree second language teaching and now TL in training, have made me increasingly interested in the interconnectedness between L2 teacher pro-d, TL and teacher collaboration, student engagement in L2 literacy, and the role of the TL and library in supporting these initiatives. While I find it hard to isolate one aspect of this plan, Stacey gave me some great advice for this assignment – to give a few examples at a specific level. In some cases I changed my original yellow stickies to give more specific examples, and in other cases I added stickies with concrete examples specific to middle school (see pink stickies). I hope to carry out this plan in various ways at all levels K-12, but for now am focusing on middle since this is my recent teaching background and I am already starting to work on small aspects of this plan at this level.
I could not figure out how to export my page so have included screen shots. While I do not find this sort of corkboard really helps me personally, it was worthwhile exploring the tool. I will not include a link to my original floorplan as my design plan relates to my current role of coordinator, and as such is not tied to a specific physical library.
