Dow Presention at 2014 Association for Library and Information Science Education, Philadephia, Pa January 21-24, 2014. Special Interest Group (SIG) Program: School Libraries
The role of the school librarian evolved from 1950-1984 from a study hall monitor to an instructional leader and curriculum designer. Standards and literature from this period show a progression in the librarian taking on more instructional responsibilities including collaborating with teachers on curriculum and textbook selection. Major developments included the launch of Sputnik sparking educational reforms, the Knapp School Libraries Project supporting collaborative teaching between librarians and teachers, and Information Power in 1988 establishing the librarian as an information specialist, teacher, and instructional consultant integral to the instructional program.
This document summarizes a paper about the instructional role of school librarians and their impact on student learning outcomes. It discusses research that shows when school librarians collaborate with teachers, students achieve higher levels of literacy and skills. It also outlines challenges for school librarians, such as ensuring their practice is informed by research and focused on developing students' knowledge and evidence-based learning. Finally, it summarizes different types of research that can guide school librarians' instructional practices, such as large-scale studies and smaller micro-studies of information literacy skills.
An evaluation of_the_conditions,_processes,_and_consequences_of_laptop_comput...Cathy Cavanaugh
This article examines how laptop computing technology, teacher professional
development, and systematic support resulted in changed teaching practices
and increased student achievement in 47 K-12 schools in 11 Florida school
districts. The overview of a large-scale study documents the type and
magnitude of change in student-centered teaching, technology tool-based
teaching, and student learning that were observed in 440 classrooms over
the course of a school year. By employing multiple observations in all
schools, document analysis, interviews, and teacher inquiry, an account of the
conditions, processes, and consequences (Hall, 1995) of laptop computing
was generated. Based on the analysis of data, laptop computing had a positive
impact across districts, particularly in regard to changes in teaching practices.
Increases in student achievement were also demonstrated across districts.
This study calls attention to systemic issues associated with successful laptop
implementation and provides implications for statewide laptop programs.
This article examines representations of teacher quality, quantity, and diversity reported by awardees of a national mathematics and science program. It identifies seven common interventions implemented across the program to influence teacher quality and the teacher population. Three key themes emerged: 1) awardees' knowledge and use of research-based professional development; 2) a shift to include specialized subject knowledge preparation for elementary teachers in addition to middle/high school teachers; and 3) involvement of STEM faculty and teacher leaders in collaborative activities at all levels and in both math and science. Efforts to influence teacher quantity and diversity were limited in scope and in initial stages. The findings provide insight into the program's impact on teacher quality, quantity, and diversity.

"Developing a Blueprint for Social Media Pedagogy: Trials, Tribulations, and Best Practices" by Zhang and Freberg in Journal of Public Relations Education (JPRE) Vol. 4, Issue 1 Spring 2018
ABSTRACT:
Social media research, and particularly social media pedagogy,
has increased substantially as a domain in public relations
research. Yet, along with this increased focus on social media
pedagogy, educators and other higher education professionals
are under pressure from industry, professional communities,
and university administrations to keep their classes updated and
relevant for their students. To better understand the current state
and rising expectations facing educators teaching social media,
we interviewed 31 social media professors to explore the trials and
tribulations of their journey and to identify best practices for social
media as a pedagogical tool. The study also suggests a blueprint
for implementing social media pedagogy in the classroom. Future
implications for both research and practice are discussed.
The document summarizes research on the benefits of teaching information literacy, particularly through collaboration between teachers and librarians. It finds that collaboration positively impacts student achievement, with students scoring 3-19% higher on tests. When instruction is integrated into the curriculum and librarians partner with teachers, students develop critical thinking and see even higher reading, writing, and test scores. Effective programs teach information literacy standards throughout K-12, support independent reading, and guide students through the cognitive process of research.
Enhancement of Student Preparation for Global Serviceinventionjournals
University students are expected to acquire proficiency in skills used in the profession and to serve globally as they graduate. Efficacy of this has been supported in studies in which skill mastery was enhanced through provision of experiential assignments. Service learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience. Problem-based learning provides active, hands-on learning that is centered on real-world problems or issues. A qualitative study was conducted by the researchers with five online courses in graduate counselor education and a total of 536 students over a 2.5 year period to assess student application of course concepts in a realworld environment with cultural diversity. Student projects focused on identification of needs and individual work to serve those needs, such as volunteering with a cultural group other than their own and development of websites to address collective population issues of need. This paper shares reflections and benefits found in student projects with these courses. Results of the study supported efficacy of Service Learning and ProblemBased Learning to enhance student mastery of course content and preparation for global service after degree completion.

Faculty Power: A Renewable Energy Source for Teaching Information Literacysusangar
This document outlines a "train the trainer" approach for teaching faculty about information literacy. It discusses planning workshops for faculty that include learning outcomes, curriculum, activities, and assessments. Example workshop content includes defining information literacy, understanding how it relates to core curriculum, experiencing an assignment from a student perspective, and learning about library resources. The goal is to educate faculty so they can incorporate information literacy into their own courses and assignments, rather than relying on one-shot library instruction sessions.
Resource utilization is an integral part of the overall management of the school. Education in a school is explored by provision of resources, their maximum utilization and management. Proper management of resources enhances students’ performance and achieves the educational objectives. The success or failure of any organization, business or enterprise depends highly on proper management of human and material resources. The purpose of this study was to establish the physical determinants of management of educational resources for enhancing students’ performance in secondary schools in Vihiga County. The specific objective was to establish the physical determinants of educational resources management and their influence on students’ performance in secondary schools in Vihiga County. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The sample size composed of principles, teachers, students and County Quality Assurance and Standards Officers. Simple random sampling method, saturated sampling technique and purposive sampling method were used to select samples. Questionnaires, in-depth interview guides, observation schedules and document analysis were used to collect data. Reliability of instruments was explored in the pilot study conducted in 3 secondary schools. Results of reliability of the instruments were assessed using Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient test. Face validity was established by availing instruments to supervisors. Qualitative data from interviews was transcribed and reported according to emerging themes, categories and sub-categories while quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency counts and percentages. Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient was used to establish relationships between variables. Findings of the study revealed that the physical determinants of educational resources management were availability and adequacy of the resources. From the study, it is recommended that the government provides adequate educational resources in schools to enhance good performance of learners in exams.
Information Literacy Instruction and the First Year Experiencecarolrain
The document discusses information literacy instruction as part of first-year experience programs. It notes that about 85% of colleges and universities now have some type of first-year experience program that aims to help ease students' transition to college life. These programs often include a library component to help students learn about resources and how to conduct research. The document outlines some common approaches to including information literacy instruction, such as orientations, tutorials, and integrating it into first-year writing courses. It also discusses challenges of including library instruction in already full first-year programs and the benefits to students.

With the 2015 enactment of the bipartisan Every Student Succeeds Act, all states are required to adopt and implement college- and career-ready standards (CCRS) in English language arts and mathematics. Today, most states and the District of Columbia are implementing rigorous, comparable CCRS and assessing student proficiency in meeting those standards.
Despite this, significant challenges thwart the promise of CCRS as the foundation for grade-level proficiency and readiness for college and careers for all students. Chief among these is the limited availability of high-quality, aligned instructional materials and supports that educators need to effectively deliver CCRS-aligned curriculum. This PCG White Paper describes a multidimensional approach to address this challenge, focusing on the design and delivery of curriculum and instructional practices that align strongly with rigorous, comparable CCRS to maximize student engagement in standards-aligned content and skills.
To that end, PCG’s approach integrates 1) analysis of curriculum and instructional materials for evidence of alignment with college and career-ready standards, 2) guidance for the design of CCRS-aligned curriculum, and 3) guidance for the design and implementation of CCRS-aligned curriculum delivery.
The document discusses cultivating creativity in children through authentic engagement and applying first principles of instruction. It provides examples of real-world questions students may ask and how those questions could be explored through various subjects like music, language arts, art, science and more. The document also addresses potential challenges like standardized testing and outlines theories and research that support allowing students to pursue their own questions to increase motivation and creativity. It concludes by inviting the reader to an upcoming conference on transforming school library services for students.
This document discusses how library media specialists can teach students to behave ethically when conducting research and using information. It defines key concepts like morality, ethics, and law, and explains how ethics guides and informs moral instincts. Principles of information ethics that are discussed include respecting intellectual property, privacy, fair representation, and nonmaleficence. The document outlines a four step process for applying principled ethics: 1) get the facts, 2) identify the moral dilemma, 3) evaluate using information ethics principles, and 4) test the solution. References and links to ethics case examples are also provided.

This document discusses four major modernist theories relating organizations to their environment: Environmental Contingency Theory, Resource Dependency Theory, Population Ecology Theory, and Institutional Theory. Environmental Contingency Theory states that organizational structure should depend on environmental conditions like complexity and change. Resource Dependency Theory examines how organizations rely on external resources and the power relationships that creates. Population Ecology Theory looks at how organizations compete for survival within environmental constraints. Institutional Theory considers how organizations seek legitimacy and power within their political and social environment.
This presentation uses M. D. Merrill's (2007) first principles of instruction as a theoretical lens for understanding that librarians must lead the way to improving school enviornments using effective, theory-based design of problem-based instruction that includes acquistion of knowledge and information literacy skills. This is a presentation at the 2013 Kansas Library Association-Kansas Association of School Librarians annual conference in Topeka, KS.

Judi Moreillon and Becky McKee shared this presentation with preservice teachers in the College of Professional Education at Texas Woman's University of March 22, 2014.
Advocacy for librarians in the high school settingmichaelpuffs
School administrators are deciding whether to fund full-time librarians in elementary, middle, and high schools. While high schools are required to have accredited librarians, elementary schools only need library aides and middle schools require endorsed teachers but no library credentials. Studies have found positive impacts of school librarians on student achievement, including higher test scores. Librarians can help establish this impact through collecting data on how their services influence academics.
This document summarizes a paper about the instructional role of school librarians and their impact on student learning outcomes. It discusses research that shows when school librarians collaborate with teachers, students achieve higher levels of literacy and skills. It also outlines challenges for school librarians, such as ensuring their practice is informed by research and focused on developing students' knowledge and evidence-based learning. Finally, it summarizes different types of research that can guide school librarians' instructional practices, such as large-scale studies and smaller micro-studies of information literacy skills.
Instructional Partnerships that Deliver SuccessSabrina Carnesi
This was a presentation presented in collaboration with Dr. Judi Moreillon of Texas Women's University and teams of teacher librarians from around the country representing Elementary, Middle and High School programs.
Collaborative partnerships between the library and classroom teacherYani1239
The document discusses collaborative partnerships between library teachers and classroom teachers. It emphasizes that through collaboration, teachers can jointly teach information literacy and technology skills across curriculums to help students become proficient in 21st century skills. Some barriers to collaboration include lack of time and resources, but strategies like brainstorming projects, co-planning, and building relationships can foster successful partnerships. Ultimately, collaboration ensures students benefit from an active library program and become information literate.

Several articles highlight increased student achievement outcomes from collaboration between teachers and media specialists.
Implementing a Scholarly Impact Program for Faculty and Graduate StudentsBrenna Helmstutler
In academic institutions today, there are greater expectations of accountability requiring tenure-track faculty to substantively demonstrate scholarly impact for annual reporting, benchmarking, and promotion and tenure. Database vendors and other content providers are creating robust, yet user-friendly, scholarly impact tools within current products. In response, institutional libraries are offering workshops, individual assistance, research guides, and other activities to promote the value and usage of these tools. However, there is no dedicated scholarly impact outreach program yet documented in the library literature. This poster will discuss developing, implementing, and assessing an innovative scholarly impact outreach program based on the author's experience as a librarian at Georgia State University.
PDS Teacher Residents: Storied Journeys with Implications for Partnerships a...Justice Ejike
I was fortunate to participate as a co-author participant of this article during summer 2017. This manuscript highlights the experiences of three urban teacher-residents (current and alumni) as we chronicle our journeys into our new roles as teachers, development through a year-long teacher residency, and then moving into our first years of teaching in the urban schools within our communities. Our development as PDS ''boundary spanners" has developed simultaneously within both the public school and university spaces allowing us to provide meaningful implications for PDS partnerships and for recruitment, development, and retention of teachers.
This document discusses comprehensive strategies for improving urban schools based on a case study analysis. It finds that successful urban schools have strong instructional leadership, shared visions, high expectations, and student-centered teaching. It also finds that retaining quality teachers requires administrative support, professional development, and respecting teachers as professionals. Additionally, engaging parents and the community is important through strategies like family resource centers and recognizing various forms of parental involvement.
This document discusses the perspectives and activities of the Academic Liaison Team at Monash University Malaysia.
It introduces the members of the School Liaison Unit and their roles in supporting different schools. It then discusses the unit's contributions to teaching, learning, and research through various programs embedded in academic courses and partnerships with faculty. Examples of successful collaborations that strengthened student work are provided.
The document also examines challenges of embracing changes in education, such as shifts to blended learning. It outlines the unit's successes in increasing student work quality and visibility on campus. It concludes by looking ahead to reviewing library offerings and developing sustainable partnerships to further embed research skills in coursework.
This document provides information about the Center for School-University Partnerships (CSUP) at Minnesota State University, Mankato for the 2011 spring semester. It discusses how CSUP has expanded partnerships to new school districts and grown connections between education professionals to better support teacher candidates. New initiatives like the AVID partnership and online InfoBrief aim to strengthen collaboration across the professional development school network and transform teacher preparation.
Why you need to know your school librariancorrado2003
This document discusses the roles and benefits of school librarians and collaboration between librarians and teachers. It begins by explaining how school librarians have evolved from "shushing" figures of the past to instructional partners and resources for the entire school community. The document then outlines the American Association of School Librarians' standards for 21st century learning. It describes tools and services librarians provide students and teachers, including resources, instruction, and professional development. The final sections discuss benefits and challenges of collaboration, providing examples of effective partnerships between librarians and other educators.
Annotated Bibliography of Research in the Teaching of English (2021).pdfValerie Felton
This document provides an annotated bibliography summarizing research on digital/technology tools in education from June 2019 to June 2020. It includes 8 annotated citations focusing on topics like using online platforms and tools for literacy instruction, digital annotation and gamification, universal design frameworks in digital platforms, and using social media to connect students during emergencies like COVID-19. The annotations provide high-level overviews of the studies and their findings on how technology can facilitate literacy learning.
The document summarizes a study that interviewed LIS and education faculty to understand their views on preparing teachers and librarians to collaborate in teaching 21st century skills. Both groups of faculty felt their fields address 21st century skills and that collaboration strategies should be taught, but collaboration in schools is difficult to achieve in practice. The study provides a basis for further research on how to better teach collaboration techniques.
The document discusses the changing role of librarians from quiet repositories of knowledge to active partners in instruction through collaborations with teaching faculty. It notes that while some have been slow to embrace this new role of "teaching librarians," partnerships between librarians and faculty can enhance student learning and instruction in many ways. Some examples highlighted include librarians assisting with research projects, selecting research topics, term paper clinics, grant writing, and computer-based projects. The document concludes that faculty-librarian evaluations and partnerships that allow open communication can strengthen student learning and are important trends, though still new, that will become tradition over time.
Building the culture of cooperation among uae university female studentsAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on implementing cooperative learning strategies with female students at UAE University. The researcher observed and interviewed students to understand the positive and negative impacts of cooperative learning. Key findings included: students developed strong friendships and were willing to help each other; but some faced challenges like uneven work distribution, dependency on others, and lack of communication. While cooperative learning helped share ideas and save time, it also led to delays for some groups. Overall, the study found cooperative learning had mostly positive effects on student attitudes and learning when implemented systematically.
This document summarizes Dean Woodring Blase's Ed.L.D. capstone project which focused on expanding K-12 students' access to STEM learning experiences through strategic community partnerships in Cambridge Public Schools. Blase developed an approach to identify local STEM organizations, map their assets to the school curriculum, and match opportunities to student needs. Examples of impact include kindergarten gardening partnerships, middle school robotics clubs, and new computer science courses co-taught with universities. Blase's strategic approach aligned community resources with curriculum and ensured STEM opportunities were available to more students.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.

10. University Instructional Partnership Study
From Fall 2008 to Spring 2010 (4 semesters), a new, university-approved
required course was offered for all elementary education students at
The Teachers College, Emporia State University.
The Elementary Teacher and the School Library Media Specialist:
Partners in Teaching Literature Appreciation and Information

statements:
♦ School librarians should be responsible for helping classroom
teachers find materials.
♦ School library media programs should be a critical part of the
literacy program of the school.
♦ School principles should set the expectation for classroom-library
collaboration.
♦ When school librarians and classroom teachers collaborate for
instruction, student achievement should increase.

14. Conclusions
On the basis of this Emporia State University study, a university-based
elementary education (K-6) course taught by library school faculty
that focuses co-teaching strategies for classroom teachers and school
librarians can improve perceptions about the school library media
program and school librarians’ involvement in preparing all students for
jobs, college, and careers.
This course is a model for moving beyond collaboration to cooperation
in instructional partnerships and has the potential to influence today’s
education establishment and the public about the necessity of statelicensed school librarians in every school building.

educational policy makers and the public are not likely to recognize
the need, or demand funding for state-licensed K-12 school
librarians.
