9. Evidence FOR Practice Research in eighteen states and one Canadian province shows that well-funded, professionally-staffed school library programs based on classroom-library collaboration correlate positively with student achievement, particularly in reading (Library Research Service 2012).

10. Evidence FOR Practice The Texas School Libraries: Standards, Resources, Services and Students’ Performance study showed that collaboration between school librarians and classroom teachers and school librarians who provide instruction to students and inservices for teachers have a positive correlation with student achievement (Smith 2001).

11. Evidence FOR Practice Pennsylvania School Library Project The overall findings fit with research we’ve seen in other states— access to a full-time, certified school librarian significantly impacts students achievement in reading (Kachel 2012).

12. Evidence FOR Practice School librarians have the greatest impact on student achievement when they practice coplanning, coteaching, teaching ICT (information and communication technology), and providing inservice workshops. These are among the library predictors of students’ academic achievement on standardized tests, particularly in reading and language arts (Achterman 2008, 62-65).

13. By definition: The “flipped library”: Frees up the librarian’s school-hours time to coplan and coteach, support and monitor, intervene in student learning experiences, and practice job-embedded professional development.
