Bismarck Public Schools

Misti Werle works as the Library Media Systems Innovator for Bismarck Public Schools in North Dakota, coordinating the 24 school libraries in the district.  She has been in education for 15 years with teaching experiences in OR, AK, and ND teaching in 1st, 2nd, and 4th grade classrooms.  Misti moved into the school library program 5 years ago because she has a passion for educational technology integration, literacy, and project based learning.  She obtained her Masters in Library and Information Studies from Florida State University in 2013 and has been a National Board Certified Teacher for 11 years.  Misti is very excited to be a part of the Lilead Fellows Program, and looks forward to growing professionally and collaborating with other fellows to strengthen school library media programs.
