Georgia, details short- and long-term recommendations for school leaders to support and enhance student learning through high-quality library programs and certi ed staff. For the School Libraries Work! compendium, Scholastic compiled national- and state-level ndings from more than 30 separate research studies demonstrating
the integral role school libraries play in
teaching and supporting student learning,
while con rming that when school librarian
staf ng is reduced, achievement in English
Language Arts (ELA) suffers. Throughout all
of the studies included in the report, one thing is abundantly clear: Librarians and libraries play
a crucial role in schools. Across the country, the data is proof that a credentialed school librarian, collaboration and co-teaching, access to technology, and large collection size all elevate student learning.
