Library media specialists serving their first year in an AACPS school are eligible for participation in the Library Media mentoring program. Beginning in August, new library media specialists are invited to attend the AACPS New Teacher Orientation. Each library media specialist is assigned a mentor and attends a series of 4 staff development days. Each of the sessions features a classroom observation of a school library media lesson and informational sessions on the various facets of the role of a school library media specialist. Substitutes are provided for these days.

Library media specialists may volunteer to be a mentor. Participation as a mentor is a rewarding experience for both the new library media specialist and the mentor as they share their experiences and grow professionally together as colleagues. For more information contact Sandra Bicksler.
