- 14. AASL Action Brief • “This action brief is a starting point,” said AASL President Gail Dickinson. “It was designed to increase awareness of the Common Core State Standards, create a sense of opportunity around their implementation, and provide school librarians — who are faced with increased opportunities in the context of fewer resources — with a deeper understanding of the standards and their role in implementing them.”
- 15. Loertscher on the Common Core • “The CCSS is a fresh leadership start for every librarian in the nation,” Loertscher concurred. “This action brief illustrates multiple opportunities for school librarians to move themselves to the center of teaching and learning in their schools and breathe new life into their programs. The document also serves as an excellent advocacy tool to help build essential partnerships with principals and teachers to implement the CCSS.”
- 16. But What About the Common Core? • 7. Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation. • 8.

- IntroductionI’m Debbie Dupree and I am in year two at Wake Young Women’s leadership academy. This topic is important to me as a new High School teacher at an early college school. At the beginning of the school year, I started discussions with the HS teachers concerning the 10th graders moving into college classes in their 11th grade year. With only 2 years of “high school” at an accelerated rate, I began to become concerned about how successful they would be with information literacy and the skills required to conduct research. This is how I began my inquiry into how the entire staff needed to prepare students for success in an early college setting.
- Based on what I had learned about our 9th graders who came to WYWLA from schools across the county, I started to understand the importance of an accepted research model used county wide. Students going to high schools with similar backgrounds from Middle Schools would help with high school research. This may be possible if all teachers buy into the research model – not just the Language Arts teacher. The statement on this slide is from a research project which looked into students and their skills with research. The authors surveyed over 400 college freshman as well as surveying school librarians from 19 high schools.We live in an era in which information literacy has been a desired learning outcome at the high school and college levelStudies have been conducted to understand the source of the problemHigh school librarians are aware of the levels of information literacy needed by students when they reach the freshman year of college but explanations for lack of readiness is limitedAn example of how students are not college ready was shown in the Pew Research Center's study "How Teens Do Research in the Digital World. They found that students used library resources to complete assignments less than 20 percent of the time which also showed students did little to evaluate information that they used from Google and other online sources. I’ve heard from so many other librarians that “it’s a cut and paste world for them”
- When the librarians from the 19 school were surveyed, the above revealed these as the top reasons that students are not learning the skills that they need to transition from High School - College
- What are some things that we can collectively and collaboratively do?
- Advantage of seeing sixth grade to college.

- research and media skills blended into the Standards as a wholeTo be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological society, students need the ability to gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and report on information and ideas, to conduct original research in order to answer questions or solve problems, and to analyze and create a high volume and extensive range of print and nonprint texts in media forms old and new. The need to conduct research and to produce and consume media is embedded into every aspect of today’s curriculum. In like fashion, research and media skills and understandings are embedded throughout the Standards rather than treated in a separate section.
