The Retirees Special Interest Group will give school librarian retirees an opportunity to network with colleagues in person and virtually. Via the group’s ALA Connect Community and meetings during ALA Annual Conferences, retirees can share their experiences and expertise and help AASL move towards the future of the profession. “Retired school librarians are a very important segment of AASL members,” said Carl Harvey, AASL president. “The experience they gained throughout their career is an invaluable resource not only for school librarians just entering the profession, but for AASL as an organization as we move forward as educational leaders.” Membership to the group is open to all AASL members.
AASL Releases Updated Position Statement on Flexible Scheduling
AASL has released an updated position statement on flexible scheduling. The statement stresses the role of the school library program as a fully integrated part of the educational program so that students, teachers and school librarians become partners in learning. To be fully integrated, classes need to be flexibly scheduled into the library on an as needed basis to facilitate research, training and utilization of technology with the guidance of the subject specialist, the teacher, and the process specialist, the librarian. Now revised, this position statement integrates the concepts set forth by AASL’s learning standards and program guidelines.

Education Commission Releases Report on Twelve Education Policy Issues
The Education Commission of the States has released its "12 for 2012" report, which focuses on 12 issues the commission feels will move education policy forward this year. The commission indicated that the report is not intended to dictate education policy priorities for 2012, instead it is intended to stimulate thinking around how best to craft the next steps of education policy across the country. The 12 issues in the report are:
-
Pre-K and expanding its focus to P-3.
-
K-12 finance: Creating and maintaining efficiency and financial accountability without lowering expectations.
-
Blended learning: Getting moving. Getting it right.
-
Common Core Standards: from talking to doing.
-
Developing civic engagement in PK-12: State action in the absence of federal funding.
-
Teaching quality: Fasten your seatbelts!
-
Rural: Enhancing the potential of education in rural America.
-
Data: Access to what teachers and leaders need to improve student outcomes 9and the skills to use it).
-
Individualized instruction: Faster. Cheaper. Smarter.
-
Performance funding: Building a model without a blueprint.
-
Remedial education: We know more now than we ever have.
-
Credentials of value: Some are better than others.
Parent and Educator Survey Finds Formative Assessments Important to Student Learning
A new survey by the Northwest Evaluation Association and Grunwald Associates finds that parents and teachers want timely, actionable assessments that monitor individual student performance and progress across a range of subjects and skills to help improve teaching and learning. The survey asked parents, teachers, and district administrators which assessments they found most useful, tested the most relevant knowledge, and were most cost-effective. The majority of educators and parents say monitoring individual student performance should be among the top priorities. The study found educators prefer formative assessments over year-end tests to track student progress and adjust instruction. Parents believe that formative assessments help teachers focus on content, provide teachers with necessary information to pace instruction, and ensure all students learn fundamental skills. Both parents and educators also said it is important to measure higher-order
thinking skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, creativity, innovation, and collaboration.
New Evaluation Gives Low Grades to Most State Science Standards
A new evaluation of science standards by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute gave very low marks to the majority of science standards from every state and the District of Columbia. The analysis, which found many standards to be vague, deemed most states to be ‘mediocre to awful," with the average grade across all states a low C. In 27 jurisdictions, science standards earn a D or below. Only two jurisdictions, California and the District of Columbia, earned straight As. Four other states - Indiana, Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Virginia - earned A minuses. Seven states earned grades in the B range. Of the 44 jurisdictions that have revised or replaced their science standards since the 2005 analysis, 11 showed improvement, in some cases dramatic. Kansas, for example, moved from an F to a B, and Arkansas moved from a D to a B. The authors of the evaluation recommend a purposeful focus on improving or replacing today's standards as a key part of a
comprehensive effort to boost science performance nationally.
Commentary - Traditional Classroom Models Prevent Innovation
In a commentary in Education Week, Arthur Wise writes that the primary force resisting change in public education is "a self-contained, four-walled classroom with a fully qualified teacher for every 25 or so students." According to Wise, "continued adherence to this design reinforces the status quo, making it a tyrannical force against change." He says that under this model, educators must teach 100 percent of the time, standing in front of or in proximity to the class. Students must be supervised 100 percent of the time by teachers in fixed groups. Wise writes that technology has failed to foster innovation because schools are using hardware, software, courseware, and technical support in ways that continue static forms of teaching and learning. In his article, Wise offers an alternate definition of "classroom" as 150 students served by a team of professionals and others. He says, “a team of 17 full-time members, led by a well-compensated,
board-certified or otherwise accomplished teacher, could serve the class” at the cost of six fully qualified teachers. Senior teachers would remain accountable for the learning of the 150 students, Wise says, but many other human and technological resources would be available to help students.
Analysis Finds Learning to Write Helps Students Learn to Read
A new study, published in the winter edition of the Harvard Educational Review, found that students who received writing-skills instruction (which includes spelling and sentence formation) or increased the amount of writing in classrooms improved their reading fluency and comprehension. Although reading skills are especially important in our word-filled world, in which people need to understand text in contexts that range from Facebook posts to instructions on bottles of medicine to legal documents, the study said many students and adults have not fully mastered reading. Researchers also found that many students do not write frequently in the classroom.
Latino Students Credit Librarians and Educators for Transforming their Lives
At the recent Latino Education Summit, students shared the personal struggles and challenges they faced while pursuing their academic goals, and testified to the importance of mentors, teachers, and librarians to their current success. The summit, which took place at NBCUniversal Headquarters in New York's Rockefeller Center on the Saturday Night Live stage, featured 150 educators, government officials, businessmen, and media. Julian Rodriguez, a junior at Mott Hall Bronx High School and a current CHCI scholar, said he has always felt pressured by his peers to reject his educational goals and pursue a career as a basketball player or be content to work at McDonald's instead. He credits his school librarian, Ms. Gray, for encouraging him to stay in school and out of trouble.

P21 Congratulates Leadership States in First Round of No Child Left Behind Waivers
The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21), the nation's leading organization promoting 21st-century learning opportunities for all students, congratulates Kentucky, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, P21 Leadership States, who have been awarded flexibility waivers from the current requirements of No Child Left Behind, alongside Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.
President Barack Obama, in announcing approval of the waiver plan, has indicated that the process would reward states for innovative improvements in standards, assessment, and accountability systems. These waivers stipulate that states demonstrate their work in preparing students for college and career, and set new targets for improving achievement, among other factors. P21's 10 year collaborative efforts working with education, business, and policy leaders has established the comprehensive Framework for 21st Century Learning which clearly articulates the intersection between college and career readiness, with its emphasis on the 4C's of critical thinking and problem-solving, communications, collaboration and creativity and innovation.
