Day 11 - Andrew Dexter, Marshall Simonds Library/Media Specialist


The year has certainly started off with a bang. Marshall Simonds Middle School has nearly completed a massive renovation / addition project. It has also taken huge strides in educational technology, providing students with a richer, more engaging kind of education. As the Library Media Specialist, I have an important interpersonal position. It is my role to pair the teaching challenges with the resources and technology that could aid in the learning, by both teachers and students.

As with any group of professionals (and students), I assist a diverse set of learners. Trying to understand personalities and learning styles is critical (and often times fun). I have always been a creative person. I was always the student who would think of all of the obscure answers to problems and then finally arrive at the obvious ones last. It is wonderful to use my creativity and sometimes "obscure answers" to assist the full-spectrum of learners that I have before me every day.
