Extractions: The Media Center Why Are Media Positions Cut? How Not to Survive! by Mary Alice Anderson Lead Media Specialist, Winona Middle School, Winona, Minnesota MultiMedia Schools May/June 2002 Let's examine practices that illustrate how not to survive. Only when we face the "fatal errors" that can be made can we get to higher ground. H ave you noticed that there are fewer media specialists than in the past? In an Iowa district, full-time elementary media specialists were replaced with half-time media specialists; in other schools clerical time was reduced. Almost an entire district media department, including its director, was eliminated in a large Minnesota district a year ago. In another district, full-time media program paraprofessionals have replaced media specialists in all elementary schools. This spring even more media specialist positions in Minnesota are in danger because of state funding limitations and the failure of many school districts to pass operating fund initiatives.

During the summer of 2002, media specialists and teachers began developing the materials found on this website. The materials will continue to be refined and expanded throughout the 2002-2003 school year.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC INTRODUCTION Advocates of school library media programs have long been convinced of the relationship between quality library media programs and academic achievement. Most studies of this relationship were conducted between 1959 and 1979, were limited in scope, and usually used a small number of subjects in a limited geographical area. This study was designed both to update the existing research and to examine the relationship between library media programs and student achievement. METHODOLOGY Ideally, schools included in the sample for a study such as this would be selected on a random, stratified, or quota basis. None of these sampling designs was possible, because schools included in the sample had to have library media centers that responded to the 1989 survey of school library media centers in Colorado and had to use the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) or Tests of Achievement and Proficiency (TAP). These data were available for only 221 of 1,331 public elementary and secondary schools in Colorado during the 1988-89 school year. The study relied entirely upon available data about school library media centers and their school and community contexts to predict norm-referenced test scores.

Lemme Elementary in Iowa City has also been the site of an Ag in the Classroom Fair where 12 presenters gave nine-minute presentations on sheep, pigs, cattle, honey, peanut butter, vegetables, apple orchards, tree farms and vermiculture. There was also a petting zoo. Similar events have been held at other schools in the county. In addition elementary tours to turkey, Amish and hog farms have been arranged.

Extractions: Plan. The goal was to insure a common baseline of equipment in all schools, including multi-media networked computers at all classroom teaching stations, computer labs, school media centers, and administrative offices. All computers feature Internet access, e-mail, and Microsoft Office tools. The successful completion of this multi-year plan was made possible with funds from the state and a local voter-approved Instructional Support Levy. Other 2000-01 technology achievements include: Online purchasing for schools and office supplies was extended throughout the district for true just-in-time delivery. Schools benefit from faster deliveries, broader selection, and better pricing. Special Services changed the system for identifying students who receive special education services. The old system labeled students according to their specific disability while the new system is label-free at the mild and moderate disability levels and simply identifies students as "entitled." Curriculum facilitators in math, science, language arts, and social studies continued to work with teachers, emphasizing "best practices" and the use of content standards in instruction and testing.
