TCB Professionalism – but please call me Janis Level of workload Program paper Make-up for 9/23 Directory of MA libraries for obs.Directory of MA libraries Wiki use, future use, usefulness Questions on anything

This is the point of the whole thing…

History of Vision of SLMC 1835 – 1 st law 1890 – “competition” with public libraries (2006 version) (2006 version) 1920’s – “individualized instruction & learning differences Media & Library Collaboration, Leadership, Technology

Vision / Mission Vision = Passive An Image of the future we seek to create –Who will benefit? –what will the benefits be? –What is the result of the benefit? –Why is the result important?

Vision / Mission Mission = Active, goal-oriented, measured by actions –Goals –Objectives –Assessment "Quality is Job 1" "The Coca-Cola Company exists to benefit and refresh everyone who is touched by our business. “

Information Power – Comments, complaints, compliments (CCC) “Not having worked in a school library, I found that Information Power was hard to understand”. – E.P. “However, when reading obtuse, (to me), phrases like "change agent" and staring at the mesmerizing graphic on page 48, I found it rough going at times. I'm sure I will acclimate to the dense argot of the education field”. –E.P.

Philosophy – What We Are Mission and Goals of the School Library Media Program The mission of the library media program is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. This mission is accomplished: by providing intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats by providing instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, and using information and ideas by working with other educators to design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students. --Information Power: Guidelines for School Library Media Programs (1988), p.1

“…emphasis is placed on … planning and executing the school’s instructional program rather than being simply a passive support service. Emphasis on user needs and educational growth, as well as the necessity of participating in curriculum development …are stressed in the media programs.” – Morris p.13 What We Do

Studies of SLMCs and Student Achievement (CCC) “…significant findings all of which are supporting the correlations between school libraries and education.” –T.V. comparison of school libraries in Massachusetts to the rest of the states in the union demonstrating Massachusetts' inadequacies – T.V.

Studies of SLMCs and Student Achievement “It is not surprising to hear that when children are given more books, and are provided a greater collection and a school librarian that is trained in the area of working with teachers and collaborating to help improve their curriculum; that their test scores are improved and seem to rank higher than those schools who are lacking school library media specialists.” - J.P.

Studies of SLMCs and Student Achievement “schools are achieving higher scores when SLMS are having a direct and open relationship with the teachers of the school, openly working with current curriculums to make the most of the information. That the SLMS are well versed in technology and are able to open more doors to children.” -J.P.

Studies of SLMCs and Student Achievement The Colorado results indicate that teachers and librarians working together not only increase scores, but librarians training teachers in new technologies also had a positive effect on reading scores. -E.P. I get the sense that collaborating with teachers is the paramount challenge. -E.P.

The bad news… Of the fifty (50) U.S. states, Massachusetts ranks: 38th in providing its public school students with state-certified library media specialists, 41st in teachers who agree that school library materials are adequate to support educational objectives, 49th in providing its public schools with school libraries and 50th in mean circulation per pupil per school of all library materials. MSLMA

More bad news… The 1999 Simmons Study of MA School Library Media Centers found that: 37% of Massachusetts elementary schools did not have full-time library professionals on staff, 8% of public schools did not have a library media center, an average of $12.00 per child is spent for school library books – less than half the average cost of one hardcover children’s book. MSLMA

“My question is with all this wonderful evidence regarding the importance of a SLMC why does it seem that very few outside the library community are making the connection?” –C.B.
