Abstract:

Assessing student learning is a highly important issue in schools today. Focusing on the role of the school library media specialist, this is the first full-length book to go beyond the theoretical and address the practical application of the assessment of student learning in the school library media center. It is an important source for school library media specialists as they address their roles as "teachers" in schools, and the subsequent accountability issues associated with that role. Placing students at the center of the assessment equation, the book addresses the following topics as they relate to school library instructional programs: The purpose of assessment; The essential elements of assessment; Knowing what to assess; Multiple methods for assessment; The management and communication of assessment results. Presenting doable, practical methods, this in-depth analysis for the school library field will help school library media specialists confidently become involved in the assessment of student learning. Educators centrally involved in K-12 programs, including district, regional and state library media coordinators, building level administrators and library school educators will find much of value in this book, as well as K-12 teachers charged with providing evidence of student achievement.
