Trailblazer Media Center
Trailblazer is proud to be a Power Library. Our library has earned state recognition for creating a library program that focuses on student achievement, life-long learning, and use of information. The Trailblazer Media Center is open Monday-Friday for students and staff. Access to the library and computer lab as it is needed is called Flex-time. Students gain permission from the classroom teachers to access the media center as they individually need it. Patrons may use the library and its resources to answer classroom content questions or for personal use. The media center staff offers Flex-time as part of their goal to increase student achievement. Studies have shown that a well-staffed, well-equipped library, open to patrons as they need it will increase students' scores. Additionally, the staff is focusing on the Information Literacy Goals. The goals strive for the students to be independent, successful, discriminating users of information. The success of the library program is due classroom teacher collaboration, planning lessons with the media specialist, the staffing of the library with a media specialist, an aide to address student and technology troubles, and parent volunteers. For more information about the goals of quality library media programs in Colorado Springs School District 11, go to the District Library Website. http://www.cssd11.k12.co.us/lrs/ |
