Media Center Mission and Purpose
Purpose:
Enota’s media center provides a range of learning opportunities for both large and small groups and for individuals. The focus is on improving the learning process, with emphasis on intellectual content, inquiry, and the learner. Learners are encouraged to read, view, listen, construct, and create in order to learn in their own way. The center program is a cooperative venture in which the media specialist, teachers, and administrators work together to provide opportunities for the social, cultural, and educational growth of all students. |
