Can You Find the Evidence-based Practice in Your School Library? 

Collecting evidence to show how YOUR school library impacts student learning is becoming more critical every day.  Join the presenters as they show you how to utilize the findings of Student Learning through Ohio School Libraries: The Ohio Research Study along with the Tools and Resources CD to build your own evidence base. Linking the findings of the Ohio Research Study to the Ohio Effective School Library Guidelines will give you more ways to collect the necessary evidence. Come prepared for an active learning session where you will use the knowledge of your school library to begin collecting data for an evidenced-based practice approach.

In case you are not familiar, Evidence Based Practice or EBP is essentially using data to demonstrate the effectiveness of a particular program.  In this case answering the following questions about your library program:

         "What differences do my school library and its learning initiatives make to student learning outcomes?

          "What are the differences, the tangible learning outcomes and learning benefits, of my school library?"

This is the first module of the EBP program and very timely for the current environment where school library positions are being cut in many school districts . For more information visit http://www.oelma.org/EBP.htm.
