Pennsylvania School Library Innovators
The Pennsylvania School Library Innovators Award recognizes Pennsylvania school librarians who demonstrate innovative practices that advance the profession.
2019 Recipient: Jane Farrell, Dallastown Area Intermediate School
Jane is truly an innovator in the area of Teaching and Learning in
the school library! Implementing a unique rotational model to
accommodate scheduling needs, Jane has partnered with her
building technology teacher to offer students access to an
Innovation Station, a hands-on makerspace, as well as the
iLibrary, a technology station for students to practice using
technology tools, skills, and resources. Her instructional
approach demonstrates successful integration of technology and
information skills, a maker mindset, and digital citizenship. Jane
will also be co-hosting a workshop during Session C of PSLA’s
annual conference. Congratulations, Jane!
