book: "We boost achievement: Evidence-based practice for school library media specialist"

We boost achievement: Evidence-based practice for school library media specialists
David V. Loertscher with Ross J. Todd
2003 Hi Willow Research and Publishing

Count: 177 pages

Talking about change and accountability in the school library sounds noble. But the gut truth is: I have to change what I do.

I rather like much of what I do now, and why should I change?

The goal I must keep consistently in front of my is the changed life of my students. If I don't change, they won't.

So with somewhat ambivalent feelings, I opened this book that issues such a strong call to WORK. I had to tense my jaw, grab a cup of coffee, and mentally commit to at least hearing out the argument. I want the same result as Loertscher and Todd, and I've got to learn how to do it.
