Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Hartzell, Gary Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology Syracuse NY. Why Should Principals Support School Libraries? ERIC Digest. Principals should support school libraries because it is in both their students' and their own best interests to do so. Quality library media programs can enhance student achievement, and informed, committed librarians can help principals enhance their own administrative practice. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT Media Services Program Characteristics 1. Large, varied, and up-to-date collections. 2. One or more full-time qualified librarians. 3.

The center will work with teams of educators, parents and law enforcement officials from Texas communities and help them develop safety plans tailored to individual school districts. It will serve as an ongoing resource to help reduce youth violence and promote safety. The center will hold regional training sessions and a statewide school safety summit. Training sessions will educate the teams on security technology, creating positive school environments and other issues related to safe schools. Student leaders will attend a leadership training conference to learn about respecting the rights of others and handling disputes peacefully. The center will sponsor a middle school essay contest on violence prevention and peace. During the 1997-98 school year, there were almost 70,000 acts of violence reported on Texas public school campuses and more than 8,000 weapons were confiscated from students, according to Texas Education Agency statistics. Those figures, combined with growing concerns among parents and educators, led to the formation of the Texas School Safety Center.

The National Title I Distinguished Schools Recognition Program commemorates those schools that ensure that all children have access to effective instructional strategies and challenging academic content, and demonstrate success in ensuring that all children make significant progress toward learning the enriched curriculum content. Scotsdale Elementary School, in Ysleta Independent School District, is one of five Texas Distinguished Schools nominated to receive the 1998-99 National Title I Texas Distinguished School Award. The Texas Commissioner of Education nominated Scotsdale Elementary School for national recognition based on the performance of the Title I school for the three previous years. The school achieved an Exemplary rating for the three previous years which denotes that at least 90 percent of all students passed the reading, writing, and mathematics sections of the Texas Assessment of Essential Skills (TAAS). More specifically, all students included at least 90 percent of the African American students, at least 90 percent of the Hispanic students, and at least 90 percent of the students classified as low-income. Additionally, the student attendance rate had to exceed 94 percent. Scotsdale Elementary School is one of only 15 percent of all schools in Texas to receive the Exemplary rating in 1998.

Recently, HISD hosted a series of media education workshops for Houston teachers in partnership with Southwest Alternate Media Project (SWAMP), a regional media arts center, and Strategies for Media Literacy. What is available at the Instructional Media Services Center? We're responsible for three major areas. One is the teacher media in-service center. Traditionally, that has not been electronic media. It's a lot of make it and take it things; bulletin board materials, laminating things, artwork; visual materials. We probably have one of the best centers in the country for teachers. We have a supply budget where a teacher can spend about $6.50 a day on materials and a staff of technicians to help them. I'm working on having more video equipment and computer equipment available to teachers. We also have a film and video library and we have a lot of materials available for checkout to use in the classroom. Finally, we have a fairly sophisticated video production facility here in the district.

Texas Region VII Education Service Center Collection Collection Number: Volume: 1 cu. ft. Inclusive Dates: Bulk Dates: Provenance: Donated June 2, 2004 by Donna Rose, Child Nutrition Program Specialist, from the Texas Region VII Education Service Center. Historical/Biographical Sketch: In 1965, the 59th Texas Legislature authorized the State Board of Education to establish media centers throughout the state. Two years later, the State Board of Education divided the state into 20 regions, assigning each media center to begin operations and serve in each region. The 60th Texas Legislature expanded the Regional Service Centers' services and designated the roles of each service center in coordinating educational planning for the region. In 1984, the Texas House passed Bill 72, which directed the Regional Service Centers to work closer with the Texas Education Agency and school districts to raise the quality of district programs, and enhance uniformity and consistency in district operations. The Region VII Service Center is in east Texas, along the border of Louisiana and Arkansas. The Center's Child Nutrition Program Department provides services to school districts in the areas of technical assistance; regional training/workshops for school food service personnel; individual and group training of food service personnel requested by individual districts; assistance for districts with implementation of Nutrition Education Programs and assistance to schools with Nutrition and Special Projects.
