WRDSB Mission & GoalsSetting SMART Goals
SMART School Libraries: Instructional Strategies that Support Writing Development
School Libraries: From Public Good to Public Value
SMART Goals in WRDSB School Library Programs (Group Activity)
Data-Driven Decision-Making
Evidence-Based Practice
We need teacher-librarians. We’re good for you!
Students are successful because we contribute to student learning in these ways.
Ken Haycock (2005). Librarianship: Intersecting perspectives from the academy and from
the field. Perspectives, insights and priorities: 17 leaders speak freely of
librarianship (Ed. Horrocks).
Demonstrating Our Worth With Real Evidence
There is no longer a ‘public good’, only demonstrated ‘public value’.
A school library needs to demonstrate how it contributes to the development of a community of learners. Measuring Outcomes, Not Outputs

We can take advantage of new tools which make all of this far easier to accomplish than
ever before.There’s power in professional collaboration: central staff and teacher-librarians working together can make a dynamic virtual library space available to all students.
