Assignment5LIBE463ResourceSelection

I have included the Curriculum PLO’s as part of the document as a means of purchase validation. The resources chosen will directly support particular curriculum topics. There are several of the resources that could easily support several of the curriculum topics, however for the purposes of this assignment I have only included each resource in one curriculum organizer. Using this organization, an administrator, selection committee or PAC could easily see how each resource would be used in the classroom.
 * Resource Selection Assignment **

In the Surrey School District we are fortunate to have the option to use our central purchasing and processing department. The department has established relationships with a number of major vendors. I make use of this department for all of my non-fiction and media purchasing. The majority of vendors I have listed are the ones the school district uses.

This has been a valuable process for me as I have taken the time to investigate the ‘unattainable’. However, in the process I have discovered items that I might otherwise not discovered. For example, through this process I have realized the value of the Canadian branch of Weigl Publishing. Prior to this assignment I had acquired a few of their titles ‘by chance’. As mentioned in discussions much of my selection has been through catalogue browsing. I have not been on the Weigl mailing list. I have now signed up as a contact with the company. Many of my selections are from this company.

One of my goals at the beginning of the course was to identify primary source documents. My purchasing list does not reflect this goal as many of my findings were through museum sites and other free sites. Another of my goals was to find resources that use the text features we are using in classroom instruction. The majority of my selections include the text features our students will be familiar with. Consequently, I am very happy with my selections and plan on adding them to my Spring order list. I am even planning on taking my list to our PAC to propose some additional spending in this targeted area.
