What the text communicates to the reader will depend upon the reader herself.

Library Bill of Rights (ALA)

1) Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves. Materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation. 2) Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval. 3) Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their responsibility to provide information and enlightenment. 4) Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas. 5) A person's right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views. 6) Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to the public they serve should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use.

ALA Freedom to Read Statement

1) It is in the public interest for publishers and librarians to make available the widest diversity of views and expressions, including those that are unorthodox, unpopular, or considered dangerous by the majority. 2) Publishers, librarians, and booksellers do not need to endorse every idea or presentation they make available. It would conflict with the public interest for them to establish their own political, moral, or aesthetic views as a standard for determining what should be published or circulated. 3) It is contrary to the public interest for publishers or librarians to bar access to writings on the basis of the personal history or political affiliations of the author. 4) There is no place in our society for efforts to coerce the taste of others, to confine adults to the reading matter deemed suitable for adolescents, or to inhibit the efforts of writers to achieve artistic expression. 5) It is not in the public interest to force a reader to accept the prejudgment of a label characterizing any expression or its author as subversive or dangerous. 6) It is the responsibility of publishers and librarians, as guardians of the people's freedom to read, to contest encroachments upon that freedom by individuals or groups seeking to impose their own standards or tastes upon the community at large; and by the government whenever it seeks to reduce or deny public access to public information. 7) It is the responsibility of publishers and librarians to give full meaning to the freedom to read by providing books that enrich the quality and diversity of thought and expression. By the exercise of this affirmative responsibility, they can demonstrate that the answer to a "bad" book is a good one, the answer to a "bad" idea is a good one.

"The Court recognized that the First Amendment rights of students are 'directly and sharply implicated' when a book is removed from a school library. Therefore, the discretion of school boards to remove books from school libraries is limited. The law requires that if a book is to be removed, an inquiry must be made as to the motivation and intention of the party calling for its removal. If the party's intention is to deny students access to ideas with which the party disagrees, it is a violation of the First Amendment."

3 forms of assessment - Standards for the 21st century learner IN ACTION (2009)

Grade level capable of abstract thinking

7th GRADE According to Piaget's Major Stages of Cognitive Development, the formal operational learner begins around age 12. Even though they are capable of abstract thinking, concrete thinking is still easier. Most people don't get really good at formal operational thinking and use it habitually until they are 21-23 years old. Even then, most sensible people check their abstract reasoning with concrete diagrams, etc. Abstractions are essential for complex ideas. Give opportunities to explore hypothetical questions. Exposure to "classic literature" can be valuable - but only if the readers have the prerequisite cognitive structures and the developmental abilities to assimilate what the classics have to say and to make appropriate accommodations.

At the end of every school year, a high school library media specialist asks students and staff to complete an open-ended questionnaire regarding the types of books and resources they have most used or enjoyed having in the library media center. The primary benefit of this practice is that it: A. Assists the library media specialist in identifying materials for deselection from the library media collection B. Provides the library media specialist with insight into users' information and recreation needs C. Enhances the library media specialist's ability to conduct and objective evaluation of the library media program D.

Backwards design model (Wiggins & McTighe)

Begin by identifying the desired results (what we want students to know/do at the end of instruction) and then "work backwards" to develop activities and assessments. use in place of the traditional approach which is to define what topics need to be covered Stage 1: Identify desired outcomes and results. Stage 2: Determine what constitutes acceptable evidence of competency in the outcomes and results (assessment). Stage 3: Plan instructional strategies and learning experiences that bring students to these competency levels.

Most Influential Theories of Learning

Behaviorism - responses to external stimuli - Skinnner, Thorndike Cognitive Psychology - information processors - Gagne Constructivism - actively construct knowledge in interaction with environment - Piaget, Bruner (wasn't called that then) Social Learning Theory - people learn within a social context - Bandura Socio-constructivism - cognition and learning are understood as interactions between the individual and a situation; learning is "participation" and "social negotiation." Vygotsky, Rogoff, Lave Experiential Learning - learning is about meaningul experiences that lead to change in an individual's knowledge and behaviors - Rogers Multiple Intelligences - Many different intelligences: logical-mathematical, linguistic, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal - Gardner Situated Learning Theory and Community of Practice - there is no learning that is not situated, and emphasizes the relational and negotiated character of knowledge and learning as well as the engaged nature of learning activity for the individuals involved; learning occurs most effectively in communities; Lave, Wenger, Sergiovanni 21st Century Learning or Skills - *Core Subjects (English, math, geography, history, civics) *21st Century Themes (global awareness, civic literacy, health literacy, environmental literacy, financial, business and entrepreneurial literacy), *Learning and Innovation skills (creativity & innovation, critical thinking & problem solving, communication and collaboration) *Information, media and technology skills (ICT literacy, media literacy) *Life and Career skills (flexibility and adaptability, initiative and self-direction, social and cross-cultural skills, productivity and accountability, leadership ad responsibility)

Ban Those Bird Units! 15 Models for Teaching and Learning in Information-rich and Technology-rich Environments (David Loertscher)

Bird units are fill-in-the-blank library assignments or reports; result = copying or outright plagiarism. Named after the ubiquitous 4th grade bird units. Ban low-level activities & replace with exciting learning experiences that incorporate information literacy and technology into achievement. Works across K-12 and all disciplines. Go beyond the textbook/lecture. A guide for teachers as much as it is for librarians and technology specialists. A companion work to Build Your Own Information Literate School. Great for planning collaborative units and doing professional development with teachers.

Review Journals for selecting Reference materials

Booklist - magazine School Library Journal - leading magazine & online, leading and largest reviewers of children and young adult materials Horn Book Magazine/The Horn Book Guide - focus on bks for young adults, children, and ref. materials The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - leading children's bk review journals Multicultural Review - published quarterly; for teachers and librarians interested in learning new developments and trends in the fields of cultured diversity

What are the three tests copies must pass to stay within copyright laws?

Brevity Spontaneity - Normally copying that does not fall under the brevity test requires publisher's permission for duplication. But allowances are made if the inspiration occurs too soon prior to the classroom use. Cumulative effect - Make only one copy if possible, but three short items are allowable, but can't be used from term to term (basically, be reasonable with your copy intentions!)

Historical progress to standardization of the cataloging of children's library resources since the 1960s.

Centralized and/or commercial processing services became easier and/or less expensive for libraries. This dictated a need to standardize cataloging procedures. Then shared databases with records contributed by multiple libraries reinforced need for standardization. Customized cataloging began because non-standardized cataloging from diff resources were being received. They would have to go by ALA resources and technical services Division (RTSD)'s Cataloging of Children's Materials Committee. LACK OF UNIFORMITY. Having to customize the cataloging cost money and which took it away from other areas. The committee anticipated broader distribution of standardized cataloging thru bibliographic utility use via MARC. 1980's adoption of Library of Congress standards for children's materials cataloging.

Requires Internet safety policies (AUPs) and technology which blocks or filters certain material from being accessed through the Internet. Deadline for compliance with CIPA was July 1, 2004, following the Supreme Court ruling in 2003.

Understanding by Design (Wiggins & McTighe)

Conceptual framework for instructional design; focus on deepening students' understanding of important ideas 6 "facets" of understanding: 1. explain — provide thorough and justifiable accounts of phenomena, facts, and data 2. interpret — tell meaningful stories, offer apt translations, provide a revealing historical or personal dimension to ideas and events; make subjects personal or accessible through images, anecdotes, analogies, and models 3. apply — effectively use and adapt what they know in diverse contexts 4. have perspective — see and hear points of view through critical eyes and ears; see the big picture 5. empathize — find value in what others might find odd, alien, or implausible; perceive sensitively on the basis of prior indirect experience 6. have self-knowledge — perceive the personal style, prejudices, projections, and habits of mind that both shape and impede our own understanding; they are aware of what they do not understand and why understanding is so hard

Pathways to Knowledge (Pappas & Tepe)

Working collaboratively, the classroom teacher and school library media specialist designed a learning experience to explore the issue. The project ultimately involved the students in testifying at legislative hearings and holding allies to promote public awareness of the issue. The children won the President's Environmental Youth Award for their project. Follett Information Skills Model. Inquiry learning. Designed to enable students to work collaboratively with the classroom teacher and librarian.

Directions: The following question asks you to analyze teacher goals and actions intended to lead to the achievement of the goal. Decide whether the action is likely or unlikely to lead to the achievement of the goal. GOAL: To increase the participation of low-achieving middle school students in whole-class discussions. ACTION: Instead of asking for volunteers, the teacher randomly calls on students to discuss homework assignments. (A) Likely, because students who feel anxiety about being called on will be more at ease and will pay more attention to class discussions (B) Likely, because low-achieving students often hesitate to volunteer and random questioning will increase responses from those students (C) Unlikely, because students in the middle school grades prefer to have a choice in responding to discussions (D) Unlikely, because students' positive feelings toward the teacher will decrease

ALA document that supports privacy rights: Intellectual Freedom Manual, Library Bill of Rights http://ifmanual.org/

Intellectual Freedom Manual "Privacy: An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights" states that "The American Library Association affirms that rights of privacy are necessary for intellectual freedom and are fundamental to the ethics and the practice of librarianship" and calls upon librarians "to maintain an environment respectful and protective of the privacy of all users." The Library Bill of Rights - affirms the ethical imperative to provide unrestricted access to information and to guard against impediments to open inquiry. Article IV states: "Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas." When users recognize or fear that their privacy or confidentiality is compromised, true freedom of inquiry no longer exists. Essential to free speech, free thought, and freedom of inquiry under the First Amendment. In a library (physical or virtual), the right to privacy is the right to open inquiry without having the subject of one's interest examined or scrutinized by others. Confidentiality exists when a library is in possession of personally identifiable information about users and keeps that information private on their behalf.

Budgeting - Formula Budget

Money is allocated according to a formula, usually involving numbers or kinds of people. It is usually applied to how and which library materials are purchased and when. Difficult to relate to the goals of the library.

Constructivism

Learning theory that says we construct our own understanding of the world we live in by reflecting on our experiences. Learning is the process of adjusting our mental models to accommodate new experiences. Learners construct, rather than absorb, knowledge from their experiences. Therefore, if students construct their own framework or schema by experimenting, they are more likely to retain facts learned, e.g. research, answering open ended questions, writing, web 2.0 products Begin a lesson by asking students to recall what they already know about the subject. Then involve students in an activity that will take them beyond what they currently know. The student must actively engage in the learning process by doing something. Key concepts: * Learning is active. * Learning is social by nature- learners share ideas, inquire, and problem solve together. * Prior experiences, values, and beliefs affect new learning. * Reflection and metacognition contribute to the construction of new knowledge. * People create mental schemas/scaffolding on which to store and recall information. The broader a student's schema, the more that student is able to learn. Activities: * constructing * experimenting * practicing * summarizing and reading * conducting research and analysis * articulating (writing, drawing)

Computer basics

Motherboard: The motherboard serves to connect all of the parts of a computer together. The CPU, memory, hard drives, optical drives, video card, sound card and other ports and expansion cards all connect to the motherboard directly or via cables. CPU: The CPU/processor (Central Processing Unit) is the brains behind your computer. The CPU is responsible for performing calculations and tasks that make programs work. The faster the CPU, the quicker programs can process computations and commands. It's usually more trouble than it's worth to replace the processor. RAM: A fast CPU is useless without an adequate amount of RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM is usually referred to as a computer's memory -- meaning it stores information that is used by running programs or applications. More memory lets you run more applications at the same time without degrading your system's performance. *To see the biggest increase in performance, increase the amount of RAM in an older computer. Hard Disk Drive: The hard disk drive (HDD) of the computer is where permanent information is stored. The HDD speed can affect how fast you can access your files. Optical Drives (CD, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R, DVD-RW). Most software you buy comes on a CD-ROM, and you'll use your CD or DVD drive to read it and copy the software onto your computer. Video Card: The video card is a board that plugs into the PC motherboard to give it display capabilities. New video cards come with their own RAM and processor to help speed up the graphics display. Many computers come with video chips built in. That makes a separate video card unnecessary, unless the computer is going to be used for high-end multimedia work or to play video games. Sound Card: Like video cards, sound cards are expansion boards used for enabling a computer to manipulate sound. Most sound cards give you the power to plug in speakers and a microphone. Some even give you the jacks for hooking your computer up to a common stereo. As with video cards, many computers come with sound chips, making it unnecessary to buy a separate card, unless you need higher sound quality for your work. Router - a physical device that joins multiple wired or wireless networks together; An IP router such as a DSL or cable modem broadband router joins the home's local area network (LAN) to the wide-area network (WAN) of the Internet. Spyware/Viruses - mostly affects Windows users Preventing problems with software: Performing regular maintenance will forestall problems with your operating system and other software. That means installing updates from the software vendor, defragmenting the hard drive, running Scandisk on Windows 98 or chkdsk on Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

Budgeting - Zero-based budgeting

Not concerned with what happened in the past and not with what is happening, but rather what WILL happen in the future. A response to an incremental decision making process whereby the budget of a given fiscal year is largely decided upon by the existing budget. an approach to planning and decision-making which reverses the working process of traditional budgeting. In traditional incremental budgeting (Historic Budgeting), departmental managers justify only variances versus past years, based on the assumption that the "baseline" is automatically approved. By contrast, in zero-based budgeting, every line item of the budget must be approved, rather than only changes.[1] During the review process, no reference is made to the previous level of expenditure. Zero-based budgeting requires the budget request be re-evaluated thoroughly, starting from the zero-base. This process is independent of whether the total budget or specific line items are increasing or decreasing.

Eliza Dresang - "Radical Change" theory for empowering digital youth http://www.yalsa.ala.org/jrlya/2015/01/radical-change-theory-framework-for-empowering-digital-youth/

Radical Change is what is known as a spatial/temporal theory, rooted in the belief that authors and illustrators are influenced by the time and place within which they write. Theory identifies changes in forms and formats, perspectives, and boundaries in this body of contemporary literature for youth. INTERACTION -a book has several options for the path the reader takes, narrative, quotes, timelines, facts, illustrations; ACCESS- different points of entry; CONNECTIVITY; CHANGING BOUNDARIES- more honest with kids, advanced subject matter; CHANGING PERSPECTIVES- previously unheard voices; CHANGING FORMATS. 1999 INTERACTION (a book has several options for the path the reader takes, narrative, quotes, timelines, facts, illustrations); ACCESS (different points of entry); CONNECTIVITY refers to connections of hypertext like links in resources, as well as the sense of community or construction of social worlds that emerge from changing perspectives and expanded associations in books; CHANGING BOUNDARIES (more honest with kids, advanced subject matter); CHANGING PERSPECTIVES (previously unheard voices); CHANGING FORMATS

Flexible scheduling

Recommended. A flexible school schedule allows teachers to coordinate with the library media specialist within the context of specific subject areas.

The goal is best met when the program is driven by relevancy to students' learning experiences, not the librarian's convenience or administrative needs. integrated library program - an extension of the classroom - classroom teacher brings knowledge of subject content and student needs while the SLMS contributes knowledge of resources and technology - cooperative planning integrates open inquiry, information skills, and materials into classroom curriculum It provides greater access to resources and services for all users. It ensures that info. literacy skills are relevant to students' learning experiences.maintain an open schedule - can't schedule the LMC to have teacher release or prep time; availability of professional staff and library resources at "point of need" students and teachers come to the LMC throughout the day information skills are taught and learned within the context of the classroom curriculum the principal should advocate the benefits of flex scheduling to faculty, ensure appropriate staffing levels, and provide joint planning time for classroom teachers and the SLMS the SLMS should be knowledgeable about curriculum and classroom activities and advocate cooperative planning

Based on Ken Macrorie's 1988 book entitled, The I-Search Paper, I-Search proposes an alternative to the traditional research paper. Adapted in the 1990's by Marilyn Joyce and Julie Tallman. Often used by middle and high school students, the inquiry-based approach can also be used with elementary or college students. Four general steps: 1. Selecting a topic - exploring interests, discussing ideas, browsing resources (Generate the I-Search Question) 2. Finding information - generating questions, exploring resources (Develop a search plan / gather information) 3. Using information - taking notes, analyzing materials 4. Developing a final product - developing communications, sharing experiences

Media personnel are concerned with generating understanding of American freedoms through the development of informed and responsible citizens. To this end the American Association of School Librarians asserts that the responsibility of the school library media center is: To provide a comprehensive collection of instructional materials selected in compliance with basic written selection principles, and to provide maximum accessibility to these materials. To provide materials that will support the curriculum, taking into consideration the individual's needs, and the varied interests, abilities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and maturity levels of the students served. To provide materials for teachers and students that will encourage growth in knowledge, and that will develop literary, cultural and aesthetic appreciation, and ethical standards. To provide materials which reflect the ideas and beliefs of religious, social, political, historical, and ethnic groups and their contribution to the American and world heritage and culture, thereby enabling students to develop an intellectual integrity in forming judgments. To provide a written statement, approved by the local Boards of Education, of the procedures for meeting the challenge of censorship of materials in school library media centers. To provide qualified professional personnel to serve teachers and students. (Approved by American Association of School Librarians Board of Directors, Atlantic City, 1969.)

Theory of Moral Reasoning (extended Piaget's 2-level theory) Level 1. Preconventional Morality *Stage 1 - Obedience and Punishment The earliest stage of moral development is especially common in young children, but adults are also capable of expressing this type of reasoning. At this stage, children see rules as fixed and absolute. Obeying the rules is important because it is a means to avoid punishment. *Stage 2 - Individualism and Exchange At this stage of moral development, children account for individual points of view and judge actions based on how they serve individual needs. In the Heinz dilemma, children argued that the best course of action was the choice that best-served Heinz's needs. Reciprocity is possible at this point in moral development, but only if it serves one's own interests. Level 2. Conventional Morality *Stage 3 - Interpersonal Relationships Often referred to as the "good boy-good girl" orientation, this stage of moral development is focused on living up to social expectations and roles. There is an emphasis on conformity, being "nice," and consideration of how choices influence relationships. *Stage 4 - Maintaining Social Order At this stage of moral development, people begin to consider society as a whole when making judgments. The focus is on maintaining law and order by following the rules, doing one's duty and respecting authority. Level 3. Postconventional Morality *Stage 5 - Social Contract and Individual Rights At this stage, people begin to account for the differing values, opinions, and beliefs of other people. Rules of law are important for maintaining a society, but members of the society should agree upon these standards. *Stage 6 - Universal Principles Kohlberg's final level of moral reasoning is based upon universal ethical principles and abstract reasoning. At this stage, people follow these internalized principles of justice, even if they conflict with laws and rules.

Stripling & Pitts Research Process Model (REACTS)

need for high level thinking in the research process; focus on critical thinking If students research at a low level, they're likely to react at a low level. In other words, if students spend their time collecting facts, they'll probably create a low-level recall-type report. However if they spend their time in the research process integrating, concluding, and conceptualizing, then their final product will be reflect transformation and synthesis of information. The REACTS Taxonomy: * Recalling * Explaining * Analyzing * Challenging * Transforming * Synthesizing Components of the Pitts/Stripling Research Process: 1. Choose a broad topic 2. Get an overview 3. Narrow the topic 4. Develop thesis statement 5. Formulate questions 6. Plan for research 7. Find, analyze, evaluate 8. Evaluate evidence 9. Establish conclusions 10.

textbooks vs. trade books

trade books are published for institutional & consumer markets; for entertainment & information. A trade book is a book that is "rich in narrative and informational content, [and] can provide a valuable compliment to most textbooks" (Vacca, Vacca, Mraz 360).The advantage to trade books as opposed to textbooks, is that students have the opportunity to explore a multitude of different texts in a number of different genres, and in any content-area you can think of. For teachers, using trade books pushes their students to go beyond the typical textbook skimming that, let's face it, all students do at some point. It can challenge students to think stimulatingly about a large range of important issues happening in the world today. It is also a way to differentiate instruction, so that all students' learning needs are met, whatever level they may be at.
