Book excerpt: Purpose The purpose of this mixed methods study was to define the roles of school librarians as perceived by librarians and principals in regard to the ALA/AASL Standards for the Initial Preparation of School Librarians (2010). This study was designed to explore the perceptions of librarians and principals on the role of the librarian in the school and library. The views of librarians and principals were explored on how the library enhances student achievement. Method A mixed methods approach was used to learn the perceptions of the librarians and principals on the role of the librarian. The study was conducted in a school district in Texas All of the principals and librarians in the district were invited to participate. The survey was sent to 57 librarians and 23 principals. The data was collected using a survey that was administered through the online tool SurveyMonkey. The survey consisted of twenty-one questions that were a combination of Likert scale and open-ended questions. Findings The librarians rated their library programs as good, but with room for improvement under the standards. When the librarians were asked to define their roles in their own words, they defined themselves as librarians, teachers, leaders, and managers. When asked how they believed that their principals view the role of the librarian, many thought that they were viewed as clerks and support staff. Some of the librarians stated that their principals saw them as teachers and literacy leaders. The librarians felt that their library programs enhance student achievement, but that more support would allow them to enhance student learning even more. The principals rated their library programs and librarians as excellent under the standards. When asked to define the role of the librarian in their own words, the principals called them literacy advocates, cheerleaders, team players. When the principals were asked to define the role of the librarian in the school, they stated teacher, leader, and literacy advocate. The principals felt that the library enhanced student achievement, and the librarians support student learning by encouraging reading as well as teaching skills that reinforce what is learned in the classroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist, CCBC Marilyn Baillie Picture Book Award Finalist, Janet Savage Blachford Prize for Children's and Young Adult Literature Sydney and his friends gather outside to play, transforming one by one to climb, leap, lumber and soar into a shared jungle of their imagination. Hanging upside down in a tree, Sydney imagines he is a sleepy, sun-bathing sloth. And that's where Sami finds him. Sami thinks sloths are too slow, so she scampers up the tree and becomes a spider monkey. “Fast is fun!” she chatters. “Fast is best!” And that’s where Edward finds them... One after another, the neighborhood kids wander by and slip into a shared imaginative world where leaves and giant flowers unfurl, playing, laughing, teasing and bickering, until Edward the elephant fills up his trunk and—WHOOSH!—sends the children “galloping home like a herd of small wet animals.” As always, Marie-Louise Gay’s writing and artwork are wonderfully pitched to young readers, capturing the effortless way that children travel back and forth between the worlds of real life and make believe. With its sun-dappled watercolors, depiction of time spent outdoors with friends, and quiet, wistful ending, I’m Not Sydney perfectly illustrates the slow-moving magic of a childhood summer.

Download or read book Factors Influencing the Self efficacy of the Novice School Librarian written by Christine Haeffner and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective school library programs depend on school librarians with the capacity to lead and administrate library programs that reflect the core values of contemporary school librarianship. Research has shown that the first years of practice are critical in establishing the professional identity of the school librarian. This mixed methods explanatory research study identifies factors that affect the self-efficacy of the novice school librarian, which influences the degree to which the novice school librarian feels confident of their ability to succeed in the role of school librarian. Based on the ALA/AASL Standards for the Initial Preparation of School Librarians (2010a), a survey was distributed to novice school librarians, indicating their perceived level of confidence in the skills, knowledge, and dispositions defined by the standards. Results were analyzed and used to develop an interview protocol to phenomenologically explore the environmental, cultural, and program features that impact self-efficacy as revealed by novice school librarians during focus group interviews. Analysis of the responses indicated that novice school librarians have a high level of confidence in the standards that define contemporary librarianship. Despite this, novice school librarians experience challenges that impact feelings of self-efficacy in their role, including the complexities of transitioning into the role of school librarian, time and schedule constraints, and frustrations associated with serving in multiple roles. Novice school librarians also identified factors that positively impact their feelings of self-efficacy, including personalized coaching and mentorship, access to district-provided curriculum materials, and district-led advocacy efforts. These findings indicate that district library leadership is an important factor in helping novice school librarians negotiate the complexities of transitioning into the role of contemporary school librarian.

Book excerpt: The integration of technology into curricula and emergence of new areas of practice for school librarians that promote equity and access, such as culturally responsive-sustaining education, are expanding the school librarian’s influence beyond the school walls as they connect the school to the global community of learners. In its 2018 National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries, the American Association of School Libraries (AASL) recognizes and defines 5 roles of school librarians that are crucial to the development and significance of effective school library programs: Teacher, Leader, Instructional Partner, Information Specialist, and Program Administrator. At the request of the New York State Education Department, this brief will delve into these 5 roles of the school librarian by identifying key aspects of each role and discussing how school leaders can ensure they are making the best use of their librarians' expertise. Based on the findings and promising practices outlined in the research analyzed here, we will summarize some ways in which administrators can support professional learning and institutes of higher education can prepare school librarians to effectively take on these new roles.
