Elementary Media Specialist Model

[Angie Potts]

Hello all,

I am reaching out to get information on elementary media specialist positions. Currently, in Mankato, the elementary media specialist is part of the art, gym, music rotation. This position requires a media licensure and preferably a teaching license as well.

Students in grades K-5 go to media once a week. The media specialist teaches these classes (about 75-80% of their job responsibility) as well as manages the school's library (order books, maintain the library budget, set up displays, etc.).

My questions are:

• Is your elementary media position similar to Mankato's - teaching and library management? 
• If not, what does your elementary media specialist position/role entail?
• Does the elementary role require a media licensure?
• Are media positions part of the district's technology department?
  
• If so, what are the tech support pieces your media position has at the elementary level?
• What are the specialists that your elementary students go to throughout the week? 

I appreciate your time and input!

Thank you and enjoy the holiday weekend,

Angie
