I. Putting It Together “Instead of focusing on what the library program does, evidence-based advocacy focuses on what students learn*… The modes of advocacy should address issues that emerge from needs assessments**, which are used to establish program goals and objectives. The goals and objectives are articulated in an action plan*** that is, in effect, an instrument of evidence-based advocacy.” *Vision **LIT Program Analysis ***LIT Program Detailed 1-Year and Rolling 5-Year Plans Source: Empowering Learners, p. 42

Module 5 Discussion What are some way that the vision of the LIT program be communicated effectively? What are strategies for reporting student progress in the LIT program? Why is this important? Why does a crisis in school LIT programs call for leadership in the field? How can professional associations support our efforts? What does the research say about the effectiveness of LIT programs on student achievement? What are criticisms of this research? What are the "sacred cows" of traditional school library programs? Why is this an apt term? What are your concerns for entering the field of school LIT programs? Do you feel prepared?
