Interesting research on reading interventions targeted at specific student special education group. Wonder is a similar project could be collected for freshmen students?

Actually I did do a project with freshmen students. They report that the interventions we used in the classroom made a difference in their reading ability and we increased our test scores for this group significantly.

Principals value their librarians. They also want them to be more visible leaders. Those are just two of the interesting findings from a recent survey of 102 media specialists and 67 principals. In fact, 90 percent of the administrators that we surveyed think we have a positive impact in schools—and a large number also feel that our jobs are important. That’s great news, considering only 65 percent of librarians in the study thought their bosses would recognize the valuable role we play. Via Becky Palgi

Great scoop. What we really need to understand here is that libraries are an ecosystem. We all feed and support each other. Library users in schools grow up to be library users in public and academic libraries...
