Support Requested: MDE ESSA Public Survey
by Lester, Kathy 16 Jan '17

16 Jan '17

Happy New Year to All! The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is again asking for input on their ESSA Implementation Plan with Stakeholder Feedback Surveys. The deadline for responding to these surveys is Monday, January 16th. ALA and AASL worked diligently to ensure that the school library provisions (http://bit.ly/ESSAlib) were included in ESSA; yet, each state has autonomy in how they implement these provisions. MAME has been actively involved with MDE through a seat on the state ESSA Tactical Review Committee as well as holding an ESSA Focus Group with MDE at MAME’s annual conference. However, it is* important for the MDE to hear about the importance of effective school libraries to student achievement in our state from multiple voices.* Thus, your support and action is needed now! Go to the MDE ESSA ‘Get Involved’ Page <http://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,4615,7-140-37818_76731_76735---,00.html> and select one of the four options to provide your input. It is important that your input be provided in your own words. Please personalize your responses. [On the previous survey, MDE counted similar responses as one response.] The public survey is divided into five sections. Talking points for four of the sections are provided below. If you have any questions, please let us know. THANK YOU for your support! Kathy Lester MAME Advocacy Chair Lisa Kelly MAME President, 2017 TALKING POINTS FOR ESSA PUBLIC SURVEY OPTION 1. Accountability: 1. In question #8: Which of the following items are among the most important types of information to have when trying to figure out the quality of a school?; please check the option: The presence of librarians/media specialists in the school 1. Supports: 1. In applicable “other comments” sections of questions in this area include comments about the fact that school library media specialists provide necessary support for student achievement including possible facts such as: 1. An effective school library program positively affects the entire climate and culture of a school. 2. An effective school library program offers equitable access to resources to ensure a well-rounded education for every student. 3. An effective school library program provides personalized learning environments for every student. 4. Multiple studies in over 20 states, including Michigan, show that schools with a school library staffed by a full-time certified teaching school librarian* have a high impact on increasing student achievement regardless of socio-economic or education levels of the community. 5. Include other statement/fact of your own or from this list: http://bit.ly/ESSAlibev 2. In applicable “other comments” sections of questions in this area suggest that MDE should require or strongly recommend the Title I ESSA School Library Provision that all school districts include in their plans how they will “assist schools in developing effective school library programs to provide students an opportunity to develop digital literacy skills and improve academic achievement.” 1. Supports for Special Populations: 1. Include in your comments the fact that studies have shown that students who are economically disadvantaged, black, Hispanic, or have disabilities benefit proportionally more than general students from the presence of a full-time certified school library media specialist. 2. Teacher & Leader Quality: 1. In applicable ‘other’ areas include comments how school library media specialists provide support to teachers for high quality instruction and also provide quality professional development including possible comments such as: 1. School library media specialists support classroom teachers through providing high quality resources for their instruction. 2. School library media specialists support classroom teachers by collaborating or co-teaching with them to provide high quality instruction. 3. School library media specialists provide professional development onsite and just-in-time for staff in their buildings. 4. School library media specialists customize/personalize the professional development and resources to meet the needs of their staff and their students, including differentiating instruction. 2. In applicable ‘other’ areas include suggestion that MDE should provide professional development to administrators to understand the components of an effective school library program (as defined by "SL21 Measurement Benchmarks for Michigan School Libraries for 21st Century Schools" (www.michigan.gov/sl21)) and how an effective program positively impacts student achievement.

Project Outcome :Show Your Board & Community the Relevancy of Your Library's Services
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

The Library of Michigan is excited to offer Project Outcome workshops this Spring in four Michigan locations! April 17 - University Center, Mt. Pleasant April 27 - Redford Township District Library, Redford April 28 - Portage District Library, Portage May 4 - Peter White Public Library, Marquette For more information and to register, visit the Library of Michigan's workshop registration system<https://www.solutionwhere.com/WW/Aspx/Public/Search/ShowCourse.aspx?courseN…>. Public library services put people on the path to literacy, technological know-how, or a better job - but what we are often missing is the data to show it. Outcome measurement helps libraries answer the questions: How can we better measure and demonstrate our community impact? What good did our services do? Would you like to implement outcome measurement in your library? Join us for this [FREE?] Project Outcome Regional Training, a full day, in-person workshop on [DAY, DATE, TIME] in [CITY]. At this workshop, a Project Outcome trainer will facilitate a deep-dive into outcome measurement using Project Outcome tools. You will learn how to deploy outcome measures in your library, collect and use resulting data, and leverage the project's support network to ensure successful adoption. Be a part of a cohort of public libraries interested in implementing Project Outcome to drive change, influence decision making, and demonstrate the true impact of their library's programs and services on the community. The goal of Project Outcome<https://www.projectoutcome.org/> is to help public libraries understand and share the true impact of essential library services. Project Outcome, an initiative of the Public Library Association, provides simple tools and a supportive online community of library leaders to help public libraries collect insights and data about all the ways we are meeting the needs of our communities. This understanding can improve the way public libraries do business - from allocating existing resources more efficiently to advocating for new resources more effectively. For more information about Project Outcome, visit www.ProjectOutcome.org<http://www.ProjectOutcome.org>. Prior to this workshop, you will: ? Complete a pre-workshop assignment including introductory materials and your library's strategic goals. During this workshop, you will: ? Review Project Outcome surveys and tools. ? Identify goals for outcome measurement in your library. ? Explore best practices for selecting and administering Project Outcome surveys. ? Examine processes to use outcome measurement results for ongoing programming changes and decision-making processes. ? Identify best practices for using outcome measurement results for advocacy, support, and fundraising. ? Discuss outcome measurement as it relates to strategic planning for the library and the community. ? Create a plan for implementing Project Outcome. Following this workshop, you will: ? Be invited to participate in two follow-up virtual meetings to continue learning, collaboration, and to receive support from the Project Outcome trainer and peers in your cohort. Evette M.
