Extractions: "All Aboard!" for National Board Certification for Library Media Specialists! by Patty Sorensen Library Media Specialist, Middleton Elementary School Sherwood, Oregon MultiMedia Schools November/December 2001 O ne of my favorite stories as a child was The Little Engine That Could . The Little Engine started out with an "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can" attitude. By the end of the story due to his perseverance and belief in himself, he wound up with "I thought I could, I thought I could, I thought I could." One year from now I hope there are hundreds of media specialists across the nation who will be saying, "I thought I could, I thought I could, I thought I could" after they become the first group of library media specialists to attain National Board Certification for the Early Childhood Through Young Adulthood/Library Media certificate, under development by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. This certificate is for accomplished library media specialists teaching students ages 3-18+ who can demonstrate knowledge of information literacy, instructional collaboration, and integration of technology. In September 2000 I was thrilled when I was notified that I had been selected to serve on the Library Media Specialist Assessment Development Team. Having read the criteria for selection, I had filled out my initial application the previous June and thought to myself, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can." Prior to our first national team meeting, I did what comes naturally to media specialists: I researched National Board Certification [http://www.nbpts.org]. I wondered how anyone could ever develop assessment activities that would fairly assess the variety of activities of an exemplary media specialist whose roles and responsibilitiesour roles and responsibilities vary so much from building to building, district to district, and state to state!

Extractions: The School Library Media Center You may remember it simply as the school library, the place you visited between classes to read, do homework or conduct research for a term paper. But the school library of yesterday has given way to a new and exciting place the school library media center, where information is available in a wide variety of formats, both print and electronic; where materials and activities are coordinated with classroom assignments; and where students learn information skills that prepare them to live and work in the 21st century. Today's school library media program plays an integral role in educating children for the future. It is where students learn to find, analyze, evaluate, interpret, and communicate information and ideas skills they will need as adults to live and work in an information-based society. Besides serving as independent learning centers, many centers have programs that are directly integrated into the school curriculum. Some examples: The DeKalb County (Ga.) School System provides digital editing and multimedia equipment to all 118 of its library media centers and utilizes a Curriculum Design Blueprint that integrates resource-based teaching and information literacy skills into the curriculum.

Extractions: The health of young people, and the adults they will become, is critically linked to the health-related behaviors they adopt. Certain behaviors that are often established during youth contribute markedly to todays major killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and injuries. These behaviors include tobacco use; unhealthy dietary habits; inadequate physical activity; alcohol and other drug use; sexual behaviors that can result in HIV infection, other sexually transmitted diseases, and unintended pregnancies; and behaviors that result in violence and unintentional injuries (e.g., driving while intoxicated). These behaviors place young people at increased risk for serious health problems, both now and in the future. During the past 20 years, decreases in physical activity coupled with unhealthy eating has resulted in a doubling of the percentage of children and adolescents who are overweight.
