  1. Dear Principal,Why should you treat your Media Specialistas a “Valued TeamMember”? Submitted in partial completion of MEDT 6466 Fall 2011 for Dr. Goldberg By Has Slone

  2. Yes, Media Specialists are involved in this and more!

  3. Add it up: School Library Media Programs Make the Difference Students learn 21st century learning skills through state-of-the-art school library media programsthat include: 1) a state-certified, full time, library media specialist in the building, 2) the availability of para-professional staff who undertake routine administrative tasks, 3) a library program that is based on flexible scheduling, 4) collaborative planning , 5) an active instructional program of information literacy integrated into curriculum content, and targeted towards learning curriculum content and skills;, 6) a school library that meets resource recommendations of 15-20 books per child, 7) professional development on information and technology literacies to the teaching faculty, 8) a budget allocation of $12-$15 per student per year to ensure currency and vitality of the information base, 9) a strong networked information technology infrastructure that facilitates access to and use of information resources in an and out of school(Todd, 2005) .

  4. A Media Specialist can aid the Principal in the advancement of the school by: 1. Collaboratingwith students and other members of the learning community . 2. Identifyinglinks across student information needs, curricular content, learning outcomes, and a wide variety of resources. 3. Providing leadership and expertise in acquiring and evaluating information resources. 4. Modelingfor students and others strategies for locating, accessing, and evaluating information.

  5. Massachusetts’ School LibraryProgram Variables (Middle School) Let’s now consider middle/junior high schools. The school library program variables that are statistically significant with MCAS test scores at the middle school exhibit similarities to the other levels, although there also are differences. The middle school program should consider the following aspects of library offerings: 1. Hours of service, including after school service; 2. Books per pupil; 3. Number of periodicals, including periodical databases; 4. Expenditure per pupil for materials; 5. Library instruction program; 6. Participation in the regional library system; and 7. Parent volunteers, including PTO donations.

  6. “School library media centers can contribute to improved student achievement by providing instructional materials aligned to the curriculum; by collaborating with teachers, administrators, and parents; and by extending their hours of operation beyond the school day.” Source: ”Close Up: NCLB—Improving Literacy through School Libraries,” NCLB The Achiever, September 15, 2004, Vol. 3, No 13.

  7. Why Care about school libraries? SCHOOL LIBRARIES ARE CRITICAL FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. Across the United States, research has shown that students in schools with good school libraries learn more, get better grades, and score higher on standardized test scores than their peers in schools without libraries. From Alaska to North Carolina, more than 60 studieshave shown clear evidence of this connection between student achievement and the presence of school libraries with qualified school library media specialists.

  8. Why Care About School Libraries?Because They Make A Difference!

  9. “When effective school libraries are in place, students do learn. 13,000 students can’t be wrong.” Ross J. Todd, Carol C. Kuhlthau, and OELMA. Student Learning through Ohio School Libraries, 2004. Retrieved from http://www.oelma.org/studentlearning/default.asp

  10. The Landmark Ohio Study13,000 Students Can’t Be Wrong

  11. Add it up: School Library Media Programs Make the Difference 1. Students exposed to print-rich environments are more successful in school. Evidence: National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in November 2007 provides evidence of a strong, positive link between the amount of children's materials circulated by public libraries and fourth-grade reading scores on the same agency's (NAEP).... Of states ranking in the top half of all states on reading scores, more than four-fifths (82 percent) ranked in the top half on circulation of children's materials per capita… Conversely, four out of five states (83 percent) in the bottom half on reading scores also rank in the bottom half on children's circulation (Lance and Marks 2008).

  12. Add it up: School Library Media Programs Make the Difference 2. The School Library Media Program plays an important role in helping students get an overall conception of the information seeking process. Evidence: Typically, responding middle school libraries report 18 group visits per week, eight of which are for information literacy instruction…For middle schools that have more group visits, and especially more group visits for information literacy instruction, eighth-grade ISAT writing performance averages more than 10 and almost nine percent, respectively, better than for schools with libraries visited less often(Lance, Rodney and Hamilton-Pennell 2005) .

  13. Today’s Research Process: • Formulating questions • Locating information • Exploring online resources • Judging information quality • Handling conflicting information • Organizing information • Reading and thinking • Synthesizing ideas • Building creative presentations • Evaluating personal success

  14. Add it up: School Library Media Programs Make the Difference 3. Interactions with SLMS aid children and teens in becoming confident, competent, independent learners. Evidence: Librarians and library programs appear to positively influence students’ reading skills development and test scores...[and l]ibrarians and library programs appear to positively influence the development of students reading interests(Small, Shanahan and Stasak, 2010).

  15. Building Literacy:Commonsense Ideas from Research • Startling idea from 100 years of research: • When young people have easy access to exciting reading materials, they read more! • More reading equals higher academic achievement!

  16. Add it up: School Library Media Programs Make the Difference 4. Students achieve more academically when their teachers and school library media specialists plan and deliver instruction collaboratively. Evidence: At the middle school level, the percentage of students with advanced reading scores was 12.6% higher for schools with administrators who considered librarian-teacher collaboration (in design and delivery of instruction) essential (vs. less than essential) (Lance, Rodney and Russell, 2007).

  17. Add it up: School Library Media Programs Make the Difference 5. Students are more likely to be successful academically if they have he benefit of a library media program with a state-certified school library media specialist. Evidence: An abundance of evidence strongly supports the connection between student achievement and the presence of school libraries with qualified school library media specialists(Scholastic, 2008).

  18. Add it up: School Library Media Programs Make the Difference 6. Students’ academic success is fostered by a well-funded school library media program. Evidence: Between the elementary and middle school levels, there was a similar increase in the strength of the relationship between library spending and writing performance. Elementary schools that spend more on their libraries average almost 10 percent higher writing performance, and middle schools that invest more in their libraries average almost 13 percent higher writing levels (Lance, Rodney and Hamilton-Pennell, 2005).

  19. Add it up: School Library Media Programs Make the Difference 7. Disadvantaged students have a better chance of succeeding academically when they attend schools with strong library media programs. Evidence: Better-funded school library media programs help to close the achievement gap for poor and minority students and poor and crowded schools. There is a positive relationship between total library expenditures in high schools and both PSAE reading scores and ACT scores of eleventh-graders persists, despite community income, per pupil spending, the teacher-pupil ratio, and student’s race/ethnicity (Lance, Rodney and Hamilton-Pennell, 2005).

  20. Higher scoring schools • Students can link to the LMC remotely. • Databases/electronic resources are available online. • Computers are linked to the Internet. • Information pushed beyond the LMC into classrooms and into the home affects academic achievement. • As quality information gets closer and closer to the elbow of the learner, academic achievement is affected. • The concern is extending this advantage to every learner.

  21. Add it up: School Library Media Programs Make the Difference 8. Students learn how to evaluate and use information – not just how to find and access it – from school library media specialists. Evidence: The program gives students research and information technology tools and skills that they can use in all content areas. It develops their critical thinking ability and opens their eyes to a wide range of resources and information. It increases interest in reading and excitement about learning (Smith and EGS Research & Consulting ,2006).

  22. Add it up: School Library Media Programs Make the Difference 9. Students and their teachers make more effective use of the Internet and other digital resources after learning about them from school library media specialists. Evidence: Librarians and library programs appear to positively influence students’ research-skills development and motivation for research and inquiry, particularly in the use of information technologies such as databases and the Web. Principals often perceive their librarian as the technology leader in the school. Librarians have an impact on both teachers’ and students’ technology use(Small, Shanahan and Stasak, 2010).

  23. Add it up: School Library Media Programs Make the Difference 10. Students are more successful academically when their teachers benefit from professional development opportunities offered by their library media specialist colleagues. Evidence: Library media staff in the top performing middle schools spent 25.4 percent more time providing staff development to teachers or other staff than the 25 lowest scoring schools (1.48 vs. 1.18 hours per week). Library staff in the top high schools spent more time on … collaboration … activities than library staff in the bottom schools. They are particularly more active in providing staff development to teachers and staff (1.31 vs. 0.35 hours per week) (Smith and EGS Research & Consulting ,2006).

  24. Add it up: School Library Media Programs Make the Difference Philosophically, these studies are rooted in the Information Power model espoused by the American Association of School Librarians and the findings from six decades of research related to the impact of school library media programs on academic achievement. The latest edition of the American Association of School Librarians' Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning (1998) identifies three roles for school library media specialists (LMS). 1. In a learning and teaching role, the LMS advances the instructional goals of the school. 2. As a provider of information access and delivery, the LMS develops collections and services and facilitates their use. 3. And, as a program administrator, the LMS serves as the library media center (LMC) manager as well as a school-wide advocate and trainer for information literacy.

  25. How does it look when you put it all together?

  26. What You Can Do (as Principal) To Make Your Students Successful Be S-M-A-R-T about your school Library 1. Staff, stock, and fund your library to support your curriculum and test preparation. 2. Meet regularly with your librarian. 3. Acknowledge your librarian as a school leader and as a master teacher. 4. Reward your librarian and teachers for planning and teaching cooperatively (collaboratively). 5. Take credit for making your library the keystone of your school’s success and for empowering your librarian to do the job he or she was trained to do.

  27. The International Baccalaureate Library / Resource Center requirements: The school management and the library/resource center staff must ensure that: 1. the library is well designed and equipped to serve the requirements of the Diploma Program and that it encourages both student and staff use, 2. library staff have appropriate training in librarianship and that they maintain an awareness of current thinking and new developments, 3. library staff have been consulted in assessing the needs of students and teachers involved in the Diploma Program, 4. the collection of books, periodicals and reference materials meets the needs of the Diploma Program,including all subjects, theory of knowledge and research for extended essays, 5. there is an annual library budget that provides sufficiently for the maintenance of, and additions to, the library’s collection and equipment, 6. a proportion of the library collection is devoted to books and periodicals for the professional support and education of the teaching staff, 7. students and staff have access to documentation available through information technology, 8. Internet access is available for reference purposes, in and out of school.
