Hello! My name is Shannon Woods. I am happy to be a part of the Raider family!

     I have more than 15 years experience in education; before becoming a library media specialist, I spent four years as a language arts and reading teacher as well as four years as a special education teacher. My bachelor's degree -- as well as my first career -- was creating television news websites/producing newscasts in various cities across the U.S.

     My goal as a librarian is to increase students' literacy as a whole -- not just with books, but also with technology and their other subjects as well. When students realize how they learn and how to apply that ability to other skill sets, their education improves. 

     Because literacy takes many forms, please know that I will integrate technology into the library lessons; on their library-lesson day (and with your permission), students are allowed to bring a device (smartphone or tablet) to work with. To ensure that things go quickly, if they could also have a QR code scanner downloaded on their phones, it would be greatly appreciated.

     If you have any questions about the library or literacy, feel free to email me.

     Have a great year!
