Elementary Library Schedules – Is your schedule in the norm?

 

Our SCASL Snapshot Day (data collection) is ongoing, but based on responses so far, did you know that in elementary schools, a fixed schedule is the least common? Those of you with a fixed schedule could use this as support when you ask for a flexible schedule.http://snapshotday2012.wikispaces.com/

All data collected should added by midnight, May 11.

SLJ HEADLINES: DC Set to Axe Half of its School Librarians

Colleagues,


SLJ HEADLINES: DC Set to Axe Half of its School Librarians.


DC may lose school librarians in many of their schools next year. Read the SLJ article here. This is EXACTLY why you should join us for the SCASL Summer Institute. Register for the SCASL Summer Institute and gather data for the State LMS survey!



We all need to work to keep this from happening in SC. Register today for the SCASL Summer Institute where you will learn how to collect and present data to your parents,  school administrators and district officials that proves you make a difference for children. DC officials say that school librarians do not make a difference in reading scores. Let’s prove in SC that we do make a difference!



Two job security actions you have control over:

  1. Register and attend the SCASL Summer Institute entitled “Dabble with Data: School Librarians and Student Achievement.” The link to download a registration form.
  2. Gather the data needed for the State LMS survey and then complete the survey soon. Don’t wait because then you might never get around to it. Read all the messages on the list during the past few days offering instructions and helpful hints.

The job you save may be your own!
