Application for The City of Coppell Educational Development Corporation Grant Assistance 2003 — 2004 Coppell Independent School District 200 S. Denton Tap Road Coppell, TX 75019 CISD Library Grant 2003 1 CISD Library Grant 2003 2 Section I: Abstract of Project /Activity Clear consensus in research shows a direct correlation between high quality school library programs and student achievement. Recent findings include: • "Strong school library media programs make a difference in academic achievement," (Lance & Loertscher, 2001, p.3). • "The school library media program requires a budget that supports the continuous collection of information in all formats and that provides the instructional infrastructure that will help students learn to use that information in creative, meaningful ways," (Information Power, 1998, pp.109 -110). • "Students succeed where the school librarian participates with classroom teachers and administrators in making management decisions that encourage higher levels of achievement by every student," (Lance, Rodney, & Hamilton - Pennell, 2002, p. x). Coppell Independent School District libraries located within the Coppell city limits are applying for $129, 390.00 under the literacy provision of the Coppell Education Development Corporation to further our ongoing commitment to build quality library print collections. Use of the 2003 -2004 grant funds will allow Coppell ISD libraries to impact the literacy level of every student by providing additional, meaningfully selected print resources. Emphasis will be placed on collaborative use of the materials by professional library staff in order to actively engage teachers and students in the resource -based learning process. To ensure that every student is touched by these materials, the library program must be grounded in collaborative partnering among librarians, teachers, and students, guaranteeing maximum, meaningful usage. The process of making print materials available to every student will be based CISD Library Grant 2003 3 on student need, whether it is recreational reading, independent research or whole class instruction. Section II: Description of Proposal and Nature of Request: District libraries will address two broad literacy objectives with these grant monies. The first objective is the purchase of additional, current print materials. To do this effectively librarians will: • assess collections • weed materials that are outdated or in disrepair according to CREW Guidelines for Weeding (see Appendix A) • consult a variety of professional resources for relevant, current titles • utilize Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills objectives to ascertain curriculum needs • create consideration files and book orders with titles that will replace outdated, weeded materials with current ones • create consideration files and book orders with titles that will address curriculum changes and student interests With the grant funds, the library professionals will build quality collections that are current, responsive to student needs and interests, and supportive of changing curricular objectives, thereby impacting district literacy. Year end reports which include fall book orders, monthly collection statistics, a spring 2004 updated collection analysis report, and a summary of collaborative lessons will serve as documentation that books have been acquired and used. Objective 1: To buy additional, current books that generates increased circulation and meaningful usage that support and enhance the CISD curriculum. Activities Persons Responsible Time Line Documentation Weed collection using collection analysis report and CREW manual District Librarians Fall Semester /Ongoing List of books weeded Utilize selection aides, consideration files and state wide reading initiatives to develop book order District Librarians Fall Semester /Ongoing Book Order Meet with administrators, teachers and students to determine book needs District Librarians Fall Semester/ Ongoing Book Order Utilize TEKS and Curriculum Maps to determine grade level and department needs District Librarians Fall Semester /Ongoing Book Order CISD Library Grant 2003 4 The second objective is to increase collaboration among students, teachers, and librarians energizing students to read independently and to seek information through learning activities. The purpose of this objective goes beyond mere purchase and availability of books to one that speaks to the best and most relevant usage of these materials. Librarians will embed their activities within classroom activities and objectives, thereby making these book resources necessary to students and teachers. Documentation will include monthly library usage reports, which include Class Visit Planning Form (see Appendix B), Research Unit Teacher's Assessment Form (see Appendix C), (Valenza, 1998) and collection and circulation statistics reports. Below is a chart detailing objectives, activities, responsible persons, time lines, and documentation to further clarify the process by which the funds will be used. Objective 2: To increase collaborative partnering between teachers and librarians.

Dr. Vartan Gregorian (2002) of the Carnegie Corporation stated in the White House Conference on School Libraries: Reading and libraries are still indispensable tools. They provide pleasure, discretion, silence, and creative solitude, and privacy. Transcending the limitations of time and space is one of the primary pleasures of the act of reading for it allows not only the renewal of one's imagination, but also the development of one's mind. Reading universalized us, especially now when the computer has brought us the death of distance. As necessary and vital as electronic information has become in the quest to educate students in a school setting, a full - service school library must contain materials that are indexed and authoritative which will work in conjunction with the technology resources. Reliance on print sources, while changing, is still the primary entrance into the world of ideas and information, and CISD Library Grant 2003 6 libraries best serve our students when there is a strong combination of both print and technology. Coppell students currently have computer access, both at school and at home, through a variety of electronic periodical and reference databases through the Texas Library Connection. The secondary libraries have access to pre - selected, fully- cataloged websites through such products as Follett Find -It -All One Search and Knowledge Links. The ease of locating information and the authoritative nature of these products ensure students accurate resources from the Internet. All libraries are fully automated and students have access to electronic information from any computer in the district. In addition, every student has access to the resources of the William T. Cozby Public Library. The decision to devote grant funds to print materials rests in the knowledge that technology needs are being addressed. Project Overview /Relevancy /Project Needs: The district's print needs are documented by the accompanying Collection Development Analysis and Recommendations Summary (see Appendix D), detailing problems related to both outdated print materials and the paucity of volumes per pupil. The summary is based on critical measurements from Texas Education Agency's Standards and Guidelines for Texas Schools and American Library Association standards. The entire Collection Analysis Report is available for review and accompanies this proposal. Each CISD campus is unique in its individual needs. For example, too many books in the older Pinkerton Elementary collection are outdated and worn. On the other hand, the newer Cottonwood Creek Elementary, has a collection that is more current and sufficient to meet standards. Both require funds for different reasons, one to purchase current materials to replace students' thirst for new reading material. Students served by this project: • High School ( Grades 9 -12) 2,437 • Middle School (Grades 6 -8) 2,082 • Elementary School (Grades Pre K — 5) 4,107 CISD Library Grant 2003 7 outdated books, the other to meet changing curricular needs in the classroom and to satisfy Grant monies will provide for ongoing acquisitions to expand existing library programs and collections. The activities and programs instituted by these funds are not mandated by state regulations. The schedule or frequency of usage for these materials is dictated by point -of -need for a student or teacher. "In collaboration with teachers and others, the librarian designs and carries out policies and procedures that promote the program as the first point of contact for meeting learning needs" (Information Power, 1998, p. 89). Instructional delivery will include literacy strategies such as book talks, individual or small group readers' advisory and whole class or individual research projects. Without the funds, the effectiveness of the CISD libraries will be compromised as materials continue to age and curriculums change. This project will not require additional staff nor will it require any additional software, technology updates, or curriculum packages. Library staff will need a short training session on the features of the monthly standard reporting forms from which library collaborative partnering with teachers will be gauged. Training will be done within the existing framework of library district meetings. • Total of 8,626 students CISD Library Grant 2003 8 Section IV: Project Measurements and Evaluation Coppell ISD serves thirteen schools in the City of Coppell. The libraries of these schools serve 8,626 students that reside in the city, Pre -K through grade 12 (see Appendix E). The books purchased through these grant monies will be made available to 100% of the student population attending these schools. The $129,390.00 request translates to $15.00 per student as reflected in the District Grant Distribution Profile (see Appendix F). With the average price for hard cover children and young adult books at $19.18 per volume (St. Lifer, 2003, p.11), this grant becomes the necessary first step in the district collection development process. Measurement The effectiveness of this project can be qualitatively measured by monthly documentation strategies and reports. These will include checklists, rubrics, conferences, portfolios, anecdotal records from students, teachers, and parents, class visit planning forms and post- research evaluation forms. To quantitatively measure the effectiveness of this project, each library will have an updated collection analysis report prepared at the end of the 2003 -2004 school year, using the same standards and criteria as the initial report. Copies of purchase orders will be available on request to the committee documenting new print acquisitions. In addition, each library will prepare a monthly collection statistics report showing acquisitions and deletions. Reports will be submitted to the district supervisor and reviewed on a regular basis at district librarian meetings throughout the year. Reports will indicate where gains have been made in the collection development process. CISD Library Grant 2003 9 Evaluation Evaluation of this project will be measured against the exemplary standard of the Standards and Guidelines for Texas Schools from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission and endorsed by The Texas Library Association which was one measurement standard used in the initial collection analysis report that detailed areas of concerns. Additionally, a comparison of the 2003 collection analysis report and the 2004 updated report will allow librarians and the district to measure quantitative and qualitative gains. The goal of district librarians is to meet exemplary standards in all areas as described below by the following overall quality indicators. The grant funds will allow us to address specifically the quality indicators pertaining to currency and number. Resources available in and/or accessible through the school library provide students and faculty opportunities for research, reading, and life -long learning; support and enrich the curriculum; and meet students' diverse needs and interests. Library materials must be cataloged, inventoried, and disseminated through the library and be available to all users. These materials should be current and in good repair, selected according to district - adopted, board - approved selection policies, and must reflect an appropriate balance among print, software, and electronic resources. In addition, an exemplary library program's collection should reflect the unique needs of the specific school population. Outdated and worn library materials should be regularly discarded, according to guidelines generally accepted by the library profession. (Crew Method provided by the Texas State Library) Provisions should be made for access to information resources beyond the campus via interlibrary loan (within the district and outside the CISD Library Grant 2003 10 district), telecommunications, and technology. *An exemplary school library program will provide a balanced collection of at least 12,000 books, software, and electronic resources at the school library program level (school library programs with enrollments exceeding 600 ADA must provide a minimum of 20 items per pupil) (Texas State Library and Archives Commission, 1997). Dr. Keith Curry Lance (2002), the Director of Library Research Service at Colorado State University, sums up the impact of school library programs when he states, "school libraries are a powerful force in the lives of America's children. The school library is one of the few factors whose contribution to academic achievement has been documented empirically, and it is a contribution that cannot be explained away by other powerful influences on student performance." The library program is successful only when its facilities, services, and resources are managed and used effectively. Coppell ISD librarians respectively apply for this grant to provide students and teachers a library program that is vital to the development of life -long learners. Association.

CREW Guidelines for Weeding The formulas given here for the various Dewey classes are rules of thumb based on professional opinions in the literature and practical experience. The formula in each case consists of three parts: 1. The first figure refers to the years since the book's latest copyright date (age of material in the book); 2. The second figure refers to the maximum permissible time without usage (in terms of years since its last recorded circulation); 3. The third refers to the presence of various negative factors, called MUSTIE FACTORS. For example, the formula "8 /3/MUSTIE" means: "Consider a book in this class for discard when its latest copyright is more than 8 years ago; and/or when its last circulation or inhouse use was more than 3 years ago; and/or when it possesses one or more of the MUSTIE factors." Most formulas include a "3" in the usage category and a MUSTIE in the negative factors category. The figure in the age category varies considerably from subject to subject. If any one of the three factors is not applicable to a specific subject, the category is filled with an X. MUSTIE is an easily remembered acronym for six negative factors that frequently ruin a book's usefulness and mark it for weeding. M = Misleading (and/or factually inaccurate) U = Ugly (worn and beyond mending or rebinding) S = Superseded (by a truly new edition or by a much better book on the subject) T = Trivial (of no discernible literary or scientific merit) I = Irrelevant to the needs and interest of your community E = The material may be obtained expeditiously Elsewhere through interlibrary loan or reciprocal borrowing In all cases, weeding decisions ultimately depend upon the professional judgments of the library staff who are responsible for the selection of materials in response to the needs of their library's patrons. While the MUSTIE formula may be used as a guide in making weeding decisions, these guidelines can and should be adjusted to meet the needs of the specific library, by substituting numbers that best reflect the library's mission and goals. Carefully consider all the factors involved in the weeding process, rather than automatically discarding an item with an older copyright date.
