How School Librarians Help Kids Achieve Standards: The Second Colorado Study

The First Colorado Study: Impact of School Libraries on Academic Achivement was the right study at the right time for many school librarians to begin documenting their contribution to education. Now, that study has been replicated in Colorado to show an even stronger relationship between what libraries contribute to learning. This study now joins others done in Alaska and Pennsylvania to show the connection between library staff, collections, collaborative planning, and information literacy instruction. It documents the entire Colorado II study and includes handouts, excellent reproducable graphics, and all of the methodology and statistical evidence linking school libraries to achievement. A must purchase for any school librarian making reports to administrators, school boards or parent groups. Keith Curry Lance, Marcia J.
