When Will Principals Understand?
A discussion on LM_NET in the last few days has centered on educating school administrators about school libraries and what we librarians bring to the school. One resource referred to is a website with a good overview of the problem and some solutions.
Some of the posters are indignant, and rightly so, I believe, that it is necessary for us to teach our principals what they should be learning when they first become educators.
I believe that much of our problem starts at the university level (or
certification area level) when administrators are learning what their role
is in the school. Nothing teaches them for the most important element of a
school's success--the heart beat--the library. Study after study after
study can be done and they will always report that with strong libraries,
students succeed. However, no one except librarians and those interested in
studies are reading these reports. [Shonda B.]
