Retirado de um wiki de profissionais de bibliotecas escolares, aqui
Cheguei lá através do website sobre Cidadania Digital nas Escolas da Judy O'Connell

Canadá Bibliotecas Escolares 2011

Relatório publicado agora (Maio 2011) pela People for Education (Ontario), organização não governamental que trabalha com as famílias em defesa da qualidade na escola pública, dá conta de retrocessos nas bibliotecas escolares canadianas e alerta para consequências negativas caso não haja políticas diferentes.

School libraries are a doorway for children and youth to learn about the world.  By design, they are sites for students to explore and develop their own interests, and to foster a love of  reading, along with their inquiry and research skills.  And as the digital world puts more and more information at students’ finger tips, the library can open the door to learning beyond the walls of the school. [...]

RECOMMENDATIONS

All students and teachers should have the capacity to find, evaluate, organize and transform information in the digital universe.

People for Education recommends

••• that the province support a leadership role for teacher-librarians, who can work with classroom teachers to develop feasible information literacy programs for all students and

••• that the province ensure that all teachers receive appropriate information and technology education in faculties of education and through ongoing professional development.

10 Things to Emulate from Japan

View more presentations from Effect Works

Greetings! 

The past month has seen much attention on earthquakes that hit various countries – first the devastating tremors and tsunami in Japan on 11 March, and then another that hit rural Myanmar (but was felt as far away in Bangkok) on 24 March. Most of us were moved by the reports and pictures of the damage in the mass media, and the personal accounts of some our colleagues, especially Yumiko Kasai. Many IASL members have offered to help in the country's reconstruction efforts. IASL member Kazuyuki Sunaga has already provided details (in a message on IAS-Link on 17 March) of one avenue to channel your contributions, but you may use other avenues you wish. I urge all IASL members to assist in whatever way you can.

We cannot prevent natural disasters such as earthquakes, but we can learn from them. A Filipino friend of mine forwarded to me an e-mail on "10 things we can learn from Japan". I do not know the origin of the message, but I was very impressed by the values it conveyed. The 10 lessons were:

1. THE CALM: Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.

2. THE DIGNITY: Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.

3. THE ABILITY: The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn't fall.

4. THE GRACE: People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.

5. THE ORDER: No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding...

6. THE SACRIFICE: Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?

7. THE TENDERNESS: Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.

8. THE TRAINING: The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.

9. THE MEDIA: They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.

10. THE CONSCIENCE: When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly.

We should share them with others and pass them on to our children.

On a different note, as we approach summer in the northern hemisphere, it will be a time for many conferences, seminars, and other professional development activities. As you attend these events, please take some time to publicize the importance of school libraries and the role of IASL, especially to non-school librarians. We often complain that school libraries are not given the support they deserve. There is often a lack of a `buy-in' for school libraries. People will `buy' and support something only if they are convinced of the value of it. And valuing begins with awareness. So let us do what we can to create awareness of the wonderful things school libraries can do for our children.

Best wishes,

RBE no olhar do Norte

QUE VIVA A BIBLIOTECA ESCOLAR!

FINALMENTE... “nasceram” [institucionalmente] as bibliotecas escolares! A mãe é a PORTARIA há dias conhecida [V. aqui] que institui a Biblioteca Escolar como o centro nevrálgico da aprendizagem e da escola.

Parabéns ao Ministério da Educação que, só ao fim de treze anos, teve a literacia suficiente para assumir a necessidade daquilo que os Professores bibliotecários têm defendido apaixonadamente ao longo desses anos, com empenho e dedicação muitas vezes incompreendidos.

Apesar de ser um passo decisivo na caminhada para um melhor ensino-aprendizagem, poderão, no futuro, ser problemáticos os efeitos da execução desta portaria, se não forem acautelados alguns aspectos que ficaram esquecidos. Entre estes aspectos salientamos a ainda nula referência aos Auxiliares de Acção Educativa, dado o seu papel essencial na constituição das equipas para o funcionamento, manutenção e estabilidade dos serviços da Biblioteca Escolar.

Podemos, mesmo assim, comemorar os 13 anos da RBE com esta primeira e boa notícia:

Nasceu a Biblioteca Escolar!... Que viva a Biblioteca Escolar!

OH HAPPY DAY

WHAT A DAY FOR PORTUGUESE SCHOOL LIBRARIES COMMUNITY!

GRANDE DIA PARA A COMUNIDADE DAS BIBLIOTECAS ESCOLARES PORTUGUESAS!

FIL / Lisbon International Fair Exhibitions facilities (Parque das Nações, Lisbon) received during June 26th the RBE’s Forum, on Portuguese School Libraries Network, RBE, now with over 2000 school libraries, started 13 years ago (1996), and coordinated since the beginning by Maria Teresa Calçada, who opened the Forum with a simulating speech.

A large space, inside one of the emblematic buildings of 1998’s EXPO, beautifully decorated with images, large printed, and images & sounds (3 big screens), from and about Portuguese school libraries, filled with about 1500 participants, including teacher librarians, public librarians, school principals, and other school libraries staff members, showing a strong interest on presentations and a feeling of joy.

Participant’s joy, even in a Portuguese discreet way, was sensible on everyone’s faces, and it is quite understandable, for last week the Ministry created places in all schools for teacher librarians (one to 4 professionals by school, estimated on 1500 all over Portugal – except Madeira e Azores, where there are Regional Governments with specific laws on Schools), recognising the value of SL teams, and creating also 70 places for Network Intermunicipal Coordinators (expert teacher librarians working with schools and other SLN local partnerships, specially with Public Libraries). These new working positions are expected to start now (September 2009), in a 4 years working stability periods for those in such positions, renewable in the future.

It was rather important the presence of Education Minister, Maria Lourdes Rodrigues (speaking in the Opening Session), as well as many political decisors connected with the Network birth and growing: Marçal Grilo, Education Minister back in 1996, presently administrator of Gulbenkian Foundation, was one of the speakers.

After a rich Panel on today’s and tomorrow’s School Libraries, including 5 “SL actors” (Carlos Pinheiro, teacher librarian running a school library, Elsa Conde, SL Network inter-municipal coordinator from the South, Vera Silva, public librarian director of a large Municipal Library near Lisbon, Manuela Barreto Nunes, university teacher and researcher, from the North, and Ana Bela Martins, member of National Network Coordination Cabinet), lunch was a pleasant moment for sharing ideas and laughs.

Afternoon started with Professor António Firmino da Costa (a specialist from ISCTE, expert on evaluation, he directed also some Literacy Surveys) presented conclusions on external evaluation of the SL Network, which he is been conducting since 2006. Defining 2009 as the beginning of a new and challenging stage for SL Network, school libraries and their professionals nuclear role for learning, he argues on 3 main factors for SLN success evidences:

1. 1996’s vision, which keeps actuality in 2009,

2. leadership (including essential role of Teresa Calçada, all through SLN development), and

3. political/institutional support, including government’s financial effort (total: 40 million Euros, during 13 years).

Later, participants followed very attentively presentations on National Educational Technological Program, PTE, Professor José Luís Ramos (researcher from Évora University) from National Reading Plan, PNL Comissária (Isabel Alçada, who also directed the group who produced the 1996’s official report and recommendations on School Libraries Program), and a precious speech on Reading Pratices of Digital Natives, by Professor Daniel Cassany (Pompeu Fabra University/Barcelona, Spain). Finally, music filled our souls, provided by Lisbon University Chorus.
