Washington State School Library Impact Study

Аннотация

In April 2015, the state school library organization, Washington Library Media Association (WLMA), released the Washington State School Library Impact Study (WSSLIT), by Dr. Elizabeth Coker, documenting the role of certified teacher librarians, library quality, and student achievement in Washington State Public Schools. A summary and the full report are available at http://www.wla.org/wlma-home or by contacting the authors. While many school library impact studies have been conducted, the authors believe that the story behind how those results are obtained needed to be told. This article tells the backstory of one significant school library impact study.
