SCHOOL LIBRARIANS: CHAMPIONS OF CHANGE
45
For the
School Libraries Work!
compendium,
Scholastic compiled national- and state-level
findings from more than 30 separate research
studies demonstrating the integral role school
libraries play in teaching and supporting
student learning while confirming that when
school librarian staffing is reduced, achieve-
ment 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.
