As we prepare to enter the fourth week of the school year, there is great news to report. The LITLC has seen an increase in check-outs, collaborations and student usage. How do we know? Using data from LibraryTrac, data from the first, three weeks of the 2018-2019 school year we compared to data from the first three weeks of the 2019-2020 school year. Check-out or latest newsletter for more details.
Check-outs
Why is this important? Studies have shown the positive impact, pleasure reading has on student achievement. Giving our students access to the books they want to read is key in creating a positive, reading environment.
Collaborations
Why is this important? Studies have shown that continued collaborations positively impact the achievement of students. Whether it is a school assessment, state assessment, or national assessment, national partnerships between the school librarian and the classroom teacher are integral for today's global learners.
Ms. Langley, a BCPL representative from the Loch Raven Branch, visited the school twice. Her first visit was during Back to School Night. Parents and students received information related databases and other privleges enjoyed by members of the BCPS. During her second visit, we began planning PROJLIT/BES book club and discussed the possibility of working together to have an author (or two) visit the area and speak with members of LRTA community.
Independent Student Usage
Having the library be a hub of learning is beautiful sight. Our students see our school library as a safe space and a fun place.
I'm going to enjoy sharing more information as the school year continues.
