RESEARCH (2012) CONCLUSION

This study adds to the evidence that all K–12 students need and deserve quality school library programs with full-time certified staff. Students are more likely to succeed when they have library programs that are well staffed, well funded, technologically well equipped, well stocked, and more accessible. And, the neediest learners may benefit the most from trained librarians and quality library programs.

However, much work still needs to be done to use this research to reach influential stakeholders who control the future of school library programs and their staffing. While many states are pursuing state reforms and regulations, this doesn’t negate the role of the individual school librarian to learn and share these findings locally. Everyone needs to nurture library champions who will defend the position that all K–12 school students need and deserve full-time school librarians and well-resourced school libraries in order to develop the skills needed to be productive in the 21st century.

Latest Study: A full-time school librarian makes a critical difference in boosting student achievement | School Library Journal (Março 2013)

De um dos comentários:

Actually, there are two points that I saw in the article which highlight ‘some of the activities of librarians do within their schools to make these students perform so much better in school’ as you requested.

- teaching the Standards for the 21st-Century Learner, and

- teaching inquiry-based learning.

You can see the information in the section titled “The role of the school library program and academic standards”. The information mentions “dramatically higher scores” and students being less likely to score below basic.

Also, I think you are correct that the “cataloging and shelving” activities you mention do not make the difference in student achievement. That is probably why schools where the full-time librarians have support staff do better than where there is no support staff (because the support staff would be doing the cataloging and shelving type activities and the librarian would be spending more of his/her time teaching the 21st century skills and inquiry-based learning activities that make the difference).

Five Questions for Elementary Teacher Neme Alperstein | Teaching with the Library of Congress

Five Questions for Elementary Teacher Neme Alperstein | Teaching with the Library of Congress: "I teach fifth grade gifted and talented students in a New York City public school, P.S. 174 William Sidney Mount. We’re in the borough of Queens, in an area considered to be one of the most diverse in the nation.  Our library circulation is one of the largest in the country (we like to think the largest, but I haven’t seen that statistic). Our school library has just been redone and our collection is digitally available. We also can order online books that are delivered to us through the NY Public Library at no cost.  Sets of books are available and we use this to bolster our work with the Library’s resources."

We are also participating in the Web Archive-it project and so the students reflect on why preserving primary sources is so crucial.  My best answer in the class was, “We don’t know why we will use them yet and may find new questions to ask. We can only do that if we preserve primary sources so we can use them in the future.”    Students constructing a story as “primary source detectives”  has appealed to colleagues because of what it can bring to the classroom.

International Games Day 2013 | I Love Libraries: "What is International Games Day @ your library?

Basically, it's just a date when a whole bunch of libraries all over the world agree to play games in a spirit of co-operation. The games can be anything the library and community in question likes: previously, libraries have hosted "learn to play chess" days, board games, card games, trivia games, tabletop roleplaying games, online videogame tournaments that span North America, and social games that travel the entire world over the course of the day."
