Teamwork

==Librarians have a unique position in a school. We must "put ourselves out there" and join up with others to make an impact. I recommend becoming more involved at the school site level and at the district level.==

==1. Join a committee or a leadership team in your school. Offer to help with extracurricular events. This allows your peers and your students to get to know you and your many talents. I have worked on the following: //Yearbook, Cheerleading, Broadway Juniors, Book Clubs, Chess Club, Multicultural Fair, Black History Month Celebration, School Leadership Team.//==

2. Collaborate with teachers on projects. Co-teach. Attend a conference or training with a teacher.
==3. Look for opportunities to join district-level committees. Having a broad understanding of what is going on across the city makes you more valuable at the site level. Respond to calls for involvement from the Office of Library Services, contact the UFT about openings on committees of interest to you, attend Community Education Council meetings or join the PTA. These are just a few suggestions.==
