41. FOOTSTEPS Quotes for school library media centers and public libraries. Juanita Buddy, Coordinator,Educational media, Dekalb County school System, Atlanta, georgia At last . http://www.cobblestonepub.com/pages/footquotes.html

What other educators are saying about FOOTSTEPS . . . "FOOTSTEPS is a regular subscription in over 65 elementary and middle school library media centers in our school system. Feature stories and regular columns provide information for classroom discussions and support cross-curricular themes related to the contributions of African Americans and descendants of Africa. Library media specialists and teachers find the magazine a valuable resource throughout the year. At meetings of library media professionals one hears, 'Why didn't I know this magazine before now? It would be great for students in my school.' " Juanita Warren Buddy. Ph.D., Coordinator, Department of Educational Media, DeKalb County School System, Atlanta, GA "The in-depth coverage about important topics that are frequently overlooked in American History that is provided in the FOOTSTEPS magazine is unequaled and desperately needed. When I had the opportunity to visit Old Mystic, CT, a few summers ago for a family reunion, I took great pride in telling my cousin, a middle school Media Specialist in Virginia, all about Lewis Temple, and his importance to the whaling industry. Though I was a History major, and taught Social Studies before I became a Media Specialist, I knew nothing about the brave Black people involved in the whaling industry prior to reading about them in FOOTSTEPS! The use of student writing and artwork is another particularly important feature. As the writing coach in my school, I continue to look for opportunities for my students to publish their work. FOOTSTEPS provides such opportunities."

44. Teacher Librarian - What Works - October 1999 Issue in schools with flexibly scheduled library resource centers. and actual curriculumdevelopment involvement of georgia school library media specialists. http://www.teacherlibrarian.com/pages/whatworks27_1.html

What Works, by Ken Haycock Volume 27, No. 1 October 1999 Collaborative Programme Planning and Teaching Research Finding: Collaborative planning requires a knowledgeable and flexible teacher-librarian, with good interpersonal skills and a commitment to integrated information literacy instruction, and the active support of the principal. Comment Teacher-librarians recognize the critical importance of their participation in curriculum development; however, their actual involvement in collaboration with classroom teachers does not match the theoretical role and the role they were trained to perform. Collaborative planning is impacted by the individuals involved, school climate, time for planning, the organization of the school, the facility and collection and training; of these, the characteristics and actions of the people involved is most important.. Collaboration with colleagues and varied student use (individual, small group) is more evident in schools with flexibly scheduled library resource centers. Regardless of whether the schedule is flexible or fixed, classroom teachers tend to accompany their classes the schedule is thus more a reflection of the schools philosophy and goals. While elementary teacher-librarians participate more on school curriculum committees than their secondary school colleagues, secondary teacher-librarians plan library-based units with teachers more often and more formally.

46. The Media Center: Why Are Media Positions Cut? How Not To Survive! Specialist, GriffinSpalding County school System, georgia; Jane Prestebak The IndispensableLibrarian Surviving (And Thriving) in school media centers in the http://www.infotoday.com/MMSchools/may02/anderson.htm

The Media Center Why Are Media Positions Cut? How Not to Survive! by Mary Alice Anderson Lead Media Specialist, Winona Middle School, Winona, Minnesota MultiMedia Schools • May/June 2002 Let's examine practices that illustrate how not to survive. Only when we face the "fatal errors" that can be made can we get to higher ground. H ave you noticed that there are fewer media specialists than in the past? In an Iowa district, full-time elementary media specialists were replaced with half-time media specialists; in other schools clerical time was reduced. In a large Illinois school district, cuts were supposed to be made at all levels, but the only cuts actually made impacted the media centers at each building. A media specialist who left was not replaced. In a Southern state, elementary media specialists were given additional teaching assignments such as teaching reading an hour and a half a day, yet were listed as full-time media specialists in the building. Almost an entire district media department, including its director, was eliminated in a large Minnesota district a year ago. In another district, full-time media program paraprofessionals have replaced media specialists in all elementary schools. This spring even more media specialist positions in Minnesota are in danger because of state funding limitations and the failure of many school districts to pass operating fund initiatives. What's Happening? Why?

47. Effective School Boards Produce Strong Schools Henry County Board of Education located in McDonough, georgia, I just what you wantwhen going before the school board Most media centers are underfunded http://www.infotoday.com/MMSchools/oct00/nutt.htm

Effective School Boards Produce Strong Schools by Pam Nutt Media Specialist • Griffin-Spalding County School System MultiMedia Schools • October 2000 M aking a difference in children’s lives is the primary goal of any school board member. Seeing advancement in student achievement, parent participation in schools, and positive community involvement are just a few of the ways board members can measure their school system’s success. But these achievements don’t come easy. The composition of members on a school board can determine the failure or success of a system. When I became the newest and youngest board member of the Henry County Board of Education located in McDonough, Georgia, I just knew that I could change the world of education, but I soon realized that change is not a one-person job; it is a joint effort between all board members, which requires board members to be able to work together on many different issues. I soon realized that I had to be a team player. My experiences have led to the following lessons, which I share with you in the spirit of encouraging you to either take the leap yourself, or at least to help you understand from the perspective of the board members, who will rely upon your information as they form the decisions that determine how effective the schools you work in will be. Either way, as library/media specialists, we are in a unique position to provide crucial insights that can vastly improve the quality of decision-making. How Did a Media Specialist End Up on a School Board, Anyhow?

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC INTRODUCTION Advocates of school library media programs have long been convinced of the relationship between quality library media programs and academic achievement. Most studies of this relationship were conducted between 1959 and 1979, were limited in scope, and usually used a small number of subjects in a limited geographical area. This study was designed both to update the existing research and to examine the relationship between library media programs and student achievement. METHODOLOGY Ideally, schools included in the sample for a study such as this would be selected on a random, stratified, or quota basis. None of these sampling designs was possible, because schools included in the sample had to have library media centers that responded to the 1989 survey of school library media centers in Colorado and had to use the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) or Tests of Achievement and Proficiency (TAP). These data were available for only 221 of 1,331 public elementary and secondary schools in Colorado during the 1988-89 school year. The study relied entirely upon available data about school library media centers and their school and community contexts to predict norm-referenced test scores.
