AkASL - Library/Informational Literacy Standards North Star SD Bob VanDerWege, media Director, Kenai of Education Della Matthis, alaska State Library. The school library program functions as the information http://www.akla.org/akasl/lib/studentstandards.html
Extractions: During the 1998-99 school year, the Department of Education and the Alaska State Library collaborated to sponsor the writing of content standards for Alaska students in the essential area of library/information literacy. A working group of educators from around the state wrote the content standards to reflect the knowledge, abilities and attitudes every Alaskan student should develop in this area. The standards follow the already published Alaska Content Standards in format and language, but delineate the unique skills required to be informationally literate. On Dec. 10, 1999 the State Board of Education voted to adopt the Library/Information Literacy Standards into regulation. These standards now join the original 10 core curricular areas as a major focus for educational programs in Alaska. These standards were incorporated into the Alaska Standards: Content and Performance Standards for Alaska Students in February, 2000.

Extractions: Nori, a red alga used for sushi wrappers, shows promise in cleaning up nitrogenous nutrients from the wastewater of fish farms and may help fish growers comply with water quality regulations. In a Connecticut Sea Grant-funded study led by Charles Yarish, Professor of Evolutionary Ecology and Biology at the University of Connecticut, four New England strains of Porphyra (nori) were able to tolerate ammonium levels up to 600 percent of those expected from fish farm effluent, suggesting an efficient means to "scrub" nitrogenous nutrients from fish farming wastewater. At the same time, the nori can serve as a cash crop to be used in sushi as well as other foods and medicinal products. Yarish and colleagues examined the effects of light, temperature, and nutrients on the four species of Porphyra, which they grew in small-tank laboratory cultures. All species grew best and exhibited highest nutrient uptake under medium to high light conditions with high levels of nutrients similar to those expected in fish tank culture effluent. The team also made progress in shortening the time needed to produce "conchospores" (a seed stage of Porphyra) in order to produce mass cultures of small blades for tank aquaculture. Because high nutrient loading in finfish aquaculture has been identified as an area of critical concern, this work will directly benefit operations in the Northeastern United States and Canadian Maritimes.

The students are Earl "Joey" Atkins, Susan Edwardson, Brianna Ferguson, Tonya Komakhuk, Rachel Mulvihill and Suzanne Marie Sorensen. A detailed description of each student follows this release. Students will arrive in Anchorage this weekend and will begin eight full days of hands-on instruction Monday, June 10. Since its inception, ANYMI has collaborated with local newspapers, television stations, universities and school districts to give students a realistic introduction to media professions. In Alaska, Department of Labor statistics show that Alaska Natives are severely under-represented in the media industry: only 8% of the professional media positions in the state are held by Alaska Natives who represent 18% of the total population. The Alaska Native Youth Media Institute endeavors to introduce students to media at a time when many are making decisions about college and careers.

Nonpublic School Approval Education reform efforts have touched many aspects of school operations. School libraries will play a critical role in helping students live up to the more stringent academic requirements identified through the No Child Left Behind Act of 2000. The guidelines will help districts develop a supportive learning environment in which students can excel. The most recent wide-scale research studies involve several statewide studies on the impact of library media programs on student achievement in Colorado (1998), Pennsylvania (1999), Alaska (1999), Texas (2001), and Oregon (2001), among others. These studies, directed by Learning Resource Services in Colorado, confirm previous research results that demonstrated a strong correlation between an effective library media program and high student achievement. The most important findings of these studies demonstrate that academic achievement is higher in schools where:

Extractions: E-mail: hardinl@kgbsd.org Following the writing job, Mrs. Hook pulls out phoneme flash cards and the children quickly sound them out. For the last few minutes of this 30-minute period, the children select a book to take home and read aloud to someone at home for the next day. Mrs. Hook and her students have created a game board in which students advance a step as they read a book. Katy Hook has been a paraeducator at Houghtaling, one of five elementary schools in the Ketchikan Borough School District, for about 15 years. Of the 419 students, 156 are Alaska Native, and 133 (or 32 percent) are on the free and reduced-price lunch program. At Houghtaling, paraeducators who are hired under Title I funds provide group instruction with teacher direction in reading and writing for students who have scored below the 35th percentile on the Gates standardized test. Currently there are two Title I tutors, one Indian Education tutor, and one ESL tutor. Paraeducators also work in the school media center and with special needs students. Each tutor meets with a group of three to four children by grade level for 30 minutes a day, four days a week. Tutors also work with kindergarten students for 30 minutes to an hour each day. The tutors use Fridays for planning time (this time is paid), as well as time for working with individual children and assessing new students.
Second Colorado Study Report role of the school librarian media specialist and the relationship between better school library services Similar recent studies for alaska and Pennsylvania http://www.tcps.k12.md.us/memo/col.html
Extractions: Educators and parents agree children need good skills to succeed in school. But how do they gain these skills? A new study shows that strong library media programs are an important component. "How School Librarians Help Kids Achieve Standards-the Second Colorado Study," just released by the Library Research Service of the Colorado State Library, Colorado Department of Education, demonstrates that student scores on standardized tests are ten to eighteen percent higher at schools with outstanding library media programs and staff. Deputy Commission of Education Dick Elmer said, "We are beginning to isolate data which enables us to determine the factors that contribute to higher student achievement on the CSAP (Colorado Student Assessment Program) test. I've always believed school libraries play a critical role in successful teaching. I'm not surprised they contribute to higher CSAP scores." The study found that CSAP reading scores are higher in schools whose library media programs are better staffed, stocked, and funded, and where library media specialists play a leadership role in their schools, collaborate with classroom teachers in the design and delivery of instruction, and utilize computer networks to extend the reach of the library media center throughout the school. * School library media specialists who are leaders meet regularly with their principals, serve with teachers on standards and curriculum committees, and meet regularly with their own staff.
