[Asis-l] New Program Manager, Simmons SLIS School Library Teacher Program

[Alisa Libby]

News from Simmons SLIS:


Lisa Estabrook is the new Program Manager for the Simmons SLIS School
Library Teacher Program. Estabrook comes to us with many years of
experience working as a certified school librarian in Massachusetts.  Most
recently she was the Library Director at the Bishop Fenwick High School
where she also worked as Curriculum Advisor to the school.  Lisa holds
Masters Degrees from Lesley University and Salem State in Curriculum
Development and Education with a Library School Media Specialization,
respectively.

Says Estabrook: “I am enjoying my role as the new Program Manager of the
School Library Teacher Program. Everyone at Simmons has been so welcoming.
I am excited to help students prepare for a vocation I feel passionately
about: the school librarian. Schools are in need of librarians who provide
students with structured opportunities to be competent problem solvers.
Librarians have the opportunity to give our students information literacy
skills that go beyond their academic experiences—these skills are necessary
in the workplace. Most importantly, librarians have the opportunity to
teach our students to read well, and to foster a love of reading. My new
role at Simmons gives me the opportunity to guide others into a field I
love.”
