SMART School Libraries A Professional Learning Event for WRDSB Secondary Teacher-Librarians Wednesday November 26, 2008 WRDSB Mission & Goals Setting SMART Goals SMART School Libraries: Instructional Strategies that Support Writing Development School Libraries: From Public Good to Public Value SMART Goals in WRDSB School Library Programs (Group Activity)

Data-Driven Decision-Making Evidence-Based Practice We need teacher- librarians. We’re good for you! Students are successful because we contribute to student learning in these ways.

Ken Haycock (2005). Librarianship: Intersecting perspectives from the academy and from the field. Perspectives, insights and priorities: 17 leaders speak freely of librarianship (Ed. Horrocks). Demonstrating Our Worth With Real Evidence There is no longer a ‘public good’, only demonstrated ‘public value’. A school library needs to demonstrate how it contributes to the development of a community of learners. Measuring Outcomes, Not Outputs

Data-Driven Decision-Making Evidence-Based Practice Thank goodness!! Now let’s get on with the job.

LearningCaringConnecting Setting SMART Goals Strategic & Specific Measurable Attainable Results-Oriented Time-Bound

WRDSB SMART Goals: Writing Improve written communication for all students. (Specific, measurable targets and timelines) Improve written communication for specific groups. (ELL, Boys, Special Education) Do our school library programs align with board learning goals? Could we provide the evidence?
