  3. Make the grade @ your library:Study Island Presented by the school media center: Jessica Andrews, AyshaFarooqi, Emily Mulls, Kirby Powers, Rebecca Strickland.

  4. Advocacy: • The school library media program has extended hours from 7:15-4:30. • The media center is available for information literacy skills, study time, reference skills, homework help, quiet time, reading help/time, book checkout, teacher support, student support, technology training, testing services, and generally anything between a and z. • The desire of the media center is to bring as much help to the school community as possible. That is why we want to purchase the license for a new program.

  5. Objective: • The school library media program wants to find ways to improve test taking strategies, test scores, and overall learning, in addition to providing information literacy skills. While there are several programs throughout the school committed to these goals, we have discovered a diamond among learning programs and would love to bring the richness of this program to our students. The program is called Study Island.

  6. Study Island It is an interactive, web-based program that will guide the students through interesting levels of achievement. The students can be monitored at home or school when using the program because it has a built in tracking system which allows results to be immediately analyzed and modified depending on student need. Investing in this program will provide another tool in the box of resources we have to give students access to the technology we have available.

  7. What is Study Island? • Study Island is a web based practice program based on the Georgia GPS. We would like to purchase this for the entire school, which enables students and teachers to access the program at school, home, or anywhere there is an internet connection. The benefits of this program are proven and provide an excellent opportunity for students to generate practice and learning for tests and content areas. Here is a short overview: • http://www.studyisland.com/salessheets/StudyIslandGeorgiaCRCT.pdf

  8. What we need: The school library media program would like to provide the whole school with the program Study Island. We need to purchase the license for the program which is around $1620 for the basic package and moves up from there with extras. Here is a breakdown of the costs: http://www.studyisland.com/PriceList.cfm?myState=GA

  9. How it will be used? • The following strategies attest to the use in providing top notch resources for the students. The students will be able to hone their skills even further to advance their abilities to excel on mandatory testing while still promoting the ultimate goal of developing life long learning techniques.

  10. Research based program: • ://www.studyisland.com/salessheets/SI%20Foundational%20Report%207-25-08.pdf • The link above shows the research based proof that Study Island succeeds in providing students a quality program to insure more success in their test taking and in general learning.

  11. Communication: Ways we will connect with school community and partners in ed WAYS TO COMMUNICATE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESSES • School Web sites • Newsletters for PTA/PTO • Media and technology articles in local newspapers • Sharing program highlights with central office staff • Presentations for the Board of Education and community groups • Displays/presentations at local events • Personal visits to community leaders • Telephone calls to community leaders • Letters/emails to community leaders • Invitations to local politicians and community leaders to visit the school/ attend school events • Thank you notes/gifts for volunteers • Designated area in the school as a Parent Resource Center with a variety of family resources to support learning • Membership in professional organizations
