Research shows the highest achieving students come from schools with good school libraries.
A learner-centered approach to instruction focuses attention on media and technology programs as vital instructional forces that expand, support, and complement classroom learning. The integration of media and technology programs with instruction is the joint responsibility of teachers, administrators, students, support staff, parents, and media and technology professionals working together to accomplish objectives that support desired outcomes for students. Media and technology programs should incorporate collaboration, information access, staff development, and public relations, all of which contribute to the success of teaching and learning. Working with other organizations to promote a common goal has a greater chance of success. Collaboration involves the communication of one's vision in such a way as to generate support for one's program.
