EBP Evolution
2001: EBP, which originated in the medical/health care community, was proposed as a model for school librarianship by Dr. Ross J. Todd (CISSL, Rutgers University)
Keynote address at the IASL Conference: “Transitions for Preferred Futures of School Libraries: Knowledge Space, Not Information Place; Connections, Not Collections; Actions, Not Positions; Evidence, Not Advocacy.”
2003: David Loertcher and Ross Todd published a book:
We boost achievement! Evidence-based practice for school library media specialists
2007: SLJ Leadership Summit focused on EBP
“Where’s the Evidence? Understanding the Impact of School Libraries”

What is EBP?
Evidence-Based Practice for school libraries hinges on two concepts:
… the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about [school librarians’] performance. It is about using research evidence, coupled with professional expertise and reasoning, to implement learning interventions that are effective. 1

What is EBP?
Dr. Ross J. Todd
Evidence-Based Practice is …
… fundamentally about about professional practice being informed and guided by the best available evidence of what works … using research-derived evidence to shape and direct what we do. 
… combining professional wisdom, reflective experience, and understanding of students’ needs with the judicious use of research-derived evidence to make decisions about how the school library can best meet the instructional goals of the school. 
… active engagement in professional and reflective practices that chart, measure, document and make visible the impact of school libraries on learning outcomes.

Evidence FOR Practice
Research studies are often used for school library advocacy, BUT … alone they do NOT provide any evidence of the impact of library programs or librarians for students at the local school level!
INSTEAD, you must use this research as a guide to inform and improve your own professional practice.
"A profession without reflective practitioners who are willing to learn about relevant research is a blinkered profession - one that's disconnected from best practices and best thinking, and one which, by default, often resorts to advocacy rather than evidence to survive." Ross Todd (2008)

Evidence OF Practice
Explained:
Evidence/artifacts generated by students and teachers; gathered, organized & shared with stakeholders by LMS
Formative/summative assessment data
Direct and indirect measures, both quantitative and qualitative
Results may be positive or negative; there will be gaps
Negative results should inform decision-making and lead to changes IN practice
Talk about importance of gathering both direct & indirect, quantitative & qualitative; Joyce’s slide
Kelly’s example (Holt/Animal Farm)
Perceptions.
Importance of artifacts, not heresay (LMS created data) like “My teachers say my instruction made a big impact”
You should EXPECT gaps …

EBP then …
For as long as I can remember, I’ve counted: - books checked out, bodies through the door, reference questions answered, classes taught, teachers with whom I collaborated, and website visitors. Counting generated data that could be embedded in colorful charts and professional-looking reports. These efforts captured a little of what happened in my school library.
Old days (output measures):
#checkouts
#class visits
#students through the door
#questions answered
#collaborations with teachers
#website visits

22. 4/12/ :55 AM
EBP Now …
Back in the day we called these “data output measures” and used them to justify budgets, maintain staffing, rethink scheduling, and advocate for our programs. Those metrics troubled me. They inspired systemic, competitive cheating, and they didn’t tell the stories that needed telling. They had little to do with asking good questions, selecting quality sources, synthesizing information, and ethically and creatively constructing, and communicating new knowledge. They didn’t address administrators’ achievement concerns or faculty’s engagement issues. They did little to capture real impacts our school library program made or my accountability to the instructional team.
Better data were all around me. I wasn’t capturing it. I missed the connection between data and results and essential questions:
How does my work make a difference in improving teaching and learning?
What is my value to the learning culture?
How might I use evidence to improve my practice and enhance learning?
