From katie.anderson at state.or.us Mon May 4 09:29:57 2015 From: katie.anderson at state.or.us (Katie Anderson) Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 16:29:57 +0000 Subject: [kids-lib] Statistics: Revised Report on Early Childhood Program Participation in 2012 Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA2452A8F475@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> I thought you might be interested in the following report on early childhood program participation in 2012 from the National Center for Education Statistics. If you can?t read the report below, read it online here: http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2013029rev. You?ll notice that most children in relative-care are cared for by their grandparents. A book was recently published specifically about library services to children and their grandparents. It may have some good ideas for providing library services to this group of children in care. You can check this book out from the State Library via interlibrary loan.

(2013) Serving Grandfamilies in Libraries: A Handbooks and Programming Guide. New York: Scarecrow Press. Gough, Feehan, and Lyons have taken everything learned from their research on developing GrandFamily Resource Collections and leading grandfamily programming in several states and put it in this easy to use guide. They share the successes and failures of existing programs so other librarians can hit the ground running rather than trudge through a time-consuming and costly period of trial-and-error. It?s a lot more efficient to learn from someone else?s mistakes than to make your own. The target population, grandfamilies, and most specifically, grandparents raising grandchildren have become a statistically-significant group worthy of attention in many communities but library practitioners may not have explored further due to a lack of resources and money. Special features include: List of Web resources (government agencies, support groups, etc.) * List of grants and funding opportunities * Sample grant applications * List of possible community partners for the library * Sample surveys or some tactic for getting to know the needs of one?s target population * Sample marketing plans * Sample promotional materials * Sample activity sheets * Sample release forms, etc. With this practical and comprehensive guide, your library will be ready to jumpstart or easily expand a stellar program for the grandfamilies in your community.

This report presents findings from the Early Childhood Program Participation Survey of the National Household Education Surveys Program of 2012 (NHES:2012) from the National Center for Education Statistics within the Institute of Education Sciences. The Early Childhood Program Participation Survey of the NHES:2012 collected data on children's participation in relative care, nonrelative care, and center-based care arrangements. It also collected information from parents about the main reason for choosing care, what factors were important to parents when choosing a care arrangement, and parents' participation in various learning activities with their children. Findings include: * Among children in a weekly nonparental care arrangement, 56 percent were attending a day care center, preschool, or prekindergarten (center-based care); 42 percent were cared for by a relative (relative care); and 24 percent were cared for in a private home by someone not related to them (nonrelative care). * Among children with relative care, the primary caregiver for 78 percent of children was grandparents in the primary relative care arrangement, compared to 11 percent who were cared for by aunts and uncles and 10 percent whose care was provided by other relatives. * The most common location for children's primary center-based care arrangement, as reported in the survey, was a building of its own (46 percent). Other reported locations were a church, synagogue, or other place of worship (20 percent); a public school (20 percent); and various other types of locations (14 percent). The report has been revised for re-release because of a correction in survey weights that led to small changes in the estimates presented, typically of one to two percentage points.

Hi, Thanks to everyone who attended the OLA conference session called Next Generation Science Standards: The Next Big Thing. I added links to my PowerPoint and asked the folks at Northwest Central to post it to the OLA Conference 2015 materials page. It should be available soon, but feel free to ask me for the PPT, too. http://nwcentral.org/ http://b8f.645.myftpupload.com/conference-materials/ola-conference-2015/ I want to express my gratitude to Jamie Rumage, Science Education Specialist at the Oregon Department of Education. She could not co-present because of a schedule conflict, but she supplied the science portion of the PowerPoint and tutored me on NGSS 101. :) A librarian in the session wondered if there was a list of science topics that students study by grade level. The short answer is yes and no. After the conference, I asked Jamie for input, and she said, "The new standards are integrated throughout the K-8 levels. This means that are all [science] content areas are being addressed at every grade level. High school can be implemented as integrated or as subject-specific content (e.g. life, physical, earth, space, etc.)." That said, viewing the PDF versions of NGSS by grade level will help provide a clearer picture of how integrated topics are broken down. The Oregon Department of Education has PDFs for individual grade levels and, of course, there are resources on NextGenScience.org. Pay attention to information in the orange column labeled Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI). http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=1577 http://www.nextgenscience.org/search-standards-dci http://www.nextgenscience.org/next-generation-science-standards Jamie sent me the criteria that will be used during the formal ODE process of identifying instructional materials that can be used in Oregon K-12 schools to support the science standards. See attached. That identification process is slated for the summer of 2016. Here are four suggestions for library staff who want to develop their science collections with the goal of supporting students and educators with NGSS: * Consult with school staff to see where they might have a focus or needs. * Consult with school library staff to see what is available there. * Check the NGSS science topics and the ODE science pages for curricular information related to the targeted grade levels. * Refer to the collection development resources listed in the PowerPoint. If you have questions, please ask.

Please email suggestions for improvements to me at anytime. Remember, I'm creating an evaluation toolkit for the 2016 Reading for Success/Ready to Read Grant. It will include observation tools, survey tools, and interview tools. The first and second draft of the survey tools have already been sent out for you to try. I hope to send you the first draft of the interview tools next month. My goal is to have the evaluation toolkit finalized and online by January 1, 2016 when you start your next grant-funded projects. Please note that the evaluation toolkit includes tips, templates, and ideas for you to use to create your own evaluation. While some of the templates from the survey tools can be printed and used exactly as they are, in most cases you will need to edit the templates so they evaluate the specific changes you want to see children and families make as a result of participating in your grant-funded activities. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Katie PS: I will send this out on the kids-lib and OYAN listservs as well.

Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1266-9. Instilling a love of reading in a child pays dividends long after early literacy skills have been mastered. The key to successful programming is to make children become participants, encouraging a "literary ear" and love of the beauty of language itself. To help children develop artful language patterns, correct grammar, and a large and rich vocabulary, Wadham offers a range of complete programs for children ages 5-12 that introduce literature in a systematic way. Organized by age, each program * Begins with a list of suggested age-appropriate poems, ranging from choral poetry and nursery rhymes to short, humorous selections and longer narrative poems, all designed to be shared orally * Includes read-alouds that encourage engagement, such as folklore, fairy tales, mythology, and fables * Suggests an activity directly based on each read-aloud, with handy information about target audience and size, program length, setup time, and materials and supplies needed * Comes with a planning calendar showing the length of time necessary to complete the program * Features a booklist of additional titles that can be used to create even more programs A fun way to transmit cultural literacy while helping to create a love of poetry, the rhythm of language, and verbal skills, Wadham's programs help children's librarians, school librarians, and storytime leaders encourage all children to be lifelong readers. (book description) *Many of the nursery rhymes and some of the poems are appropriate for preschool children. Most are great for developing phonological awareness!

Best Books for Children: Preschool through Grade 6; 10th Ed. Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited. 978-1-59884-781-9. Along with coverage of many new publications and updated bibliographic information, this new edition features an organization modified to reflect current publishing trends. The book now features separate Graphic Novels, Alphabet, Concept books, and Counting books sections (the latter three traditionally were included in Fiction for Younger Readers) and a new Traditional Literature section that covers Fairy Tales, Folklore, Mythology, Poetry, and Nursery Rhymes. In addition, Plays have been moved to Theater and Plays, under Performing Arts. As in all of the Best Books titles, the authors have carefully culled the most trusted professional review sources to identify the most highly recommended new books for children. The volume provides review citations and makes note of available eBook and audiobook versions. Brief annotations, bibliographic data, grade level appropriateness, and review citations help you identify books of high quality, while the book's topical arrangement makes it easy to create theme- and genre-based reading lists and programs as well as to identify read-alikes for young readers. The free, online annual updates help you stay current with new titles for children. Features: * Contains some 30,000 annotated entries on recommended children's books for readers in pre-K through grade six * Provides helpful indexes for easy and quick access, including author/illustrator, title, and subject/grade level * Offers annual updates online to keep librarians abreast of current releases * Draws recommendations for books from a wide range of trusted review journals * Helps librarians build reading lists based on themes and genres (book description) Be sure to check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog to discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection and search our catalog for our complete holdings.

As you may know, Oregon Battle of the Books is gaining momentum across the state. I know that many of you host OBOB programs (Cedar Mill is awesome and very helpful!) or support it in different ways, but I also know many of you are not able to make the time to read the books and write mock battle questions. So I've got a deal for you. This year the Newberg Public Library has committed to doing a Grades 3-5 district wide mock battle for our schools. Since we will be writing 7 (maybe 10) sets of UNOFFICIAL questions, to official standards, we would also like to share those questions with you. These questions will not be available online anywhere until after 1/30/16. We will have questions ready for you by December 1st. You can use them to program with at your library in whatever way works for you with one exception: please do not put them online. After our district mock battles on January 30th they will be available on our website. I'll send out an email when they are available. OBOB programming received a fantastic reception at our public library this year. OBOB Elementary participation statewide has gone from 315 schools in 2012-2013 to 423 in 2014-2015. Middle School participation has increased from 207 in 2012-2013 to 303 in 2014-2015, and High School participation in 2012-2013 was 56, increasing to 126 in 2014-2015. What a great time for public libraries to get more involved supporting this program! If you are interested please email me at korie.buerkle at newbergoregon.gov and I'll put you on my list. If you want to know more about OBOB you can visit the wiki at http://oboblsta.pbworks.com/w/page/5653620/FrontPage or you can give me a call. In April I moderated at Regionals and State, and this year I'm writing official questions for two books, and serving on the OBOB statewide committee. Happy OBOBing, Korie (with lots of help from Mary Lynn Thomas and Amanda Lamb) Korie Jones Buerkle Children's Librarian | Assistant Library Director Children's Desk: 503 537 0304 | Office: 503 554 7734 Newberg Public Library Please note: My work week is Tues.-Sat.

Hannah wrote a powerful letter to Pablo Neruda about how she connected with his poem, "I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You." She will receive a $200 check from the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress, and her letter will be featured on the national Letters About Literature website (http://www.read.gov/letters/). Oregon's Letters About Literature honorees, including Hannah, were recognized at an awards celebration at the Oregon State Library, and their letters are posted on the Oregon Letters About Literature website (http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx). To participate in Letters About Literature, students read a book, poem, play, or speech and write to the author, still living or not, detailing how the text affected them personally or changed their world view. The following Oregon children and teens were recognized at the state level for their letters: Level I (4th-6th Grades) Winner: Vicky Siah, Beaverton Runner-Up: Sophie Ong, Beaverton Honorable Mentions: Aletha Lengkong, Eugene; Mia Cremona, Lake Oswego; Cameron Iizuka, Lake Oswego; Phoebe Garrett, Lake Oswego; Amala Rajagopal, Beaverton Level II (7th-8th Grades) Winner: Sophie Ciurlik Rittenbaum, Medford Runner-Up: Madeleine Adriance, Portland Honorable Mentions: Chloe Scribner, Corvallis; Ashleen Smith, Madras; Soumik Chakraborty, Portland; Noah Kurzenhauser, Milwaukie; Zora Kurenhauser, Milwaukie Level III (9th-12th Grades) Winner: Hannah DesChamp, Eugene Runner-Up: Khiarica Rasheed, Portland Honorable Mentions: Sam Arnot, Portland; Mariah Jacobs, Sherwood; Autumn Grube, Keizer The 105 semi-finalists from around the state were honored separately. Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing promotion program of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Local cosponsors are the Oregon Center for the Book at the State Library, the Oregon Reading Association, and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Children's Services Division, Oregon Young Adult Network, and Oregon Association of School Libraries. All but the Oregon Center for the Book contribute money to provide prizes. Out of about 50,000 entries nationally, 1,069 came from Oregon children and teenagers. Level I of the contest is open to students in grades 4 through 6, Level II to students in grades 7 and 8, and Level III to students in grades 9 through 12. All entries are sent to the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress to be screened, and letters that make it through that round are sent to Letters About Literature program coordinators in participating states. This year, 124 letters made it through the national screening to be judged in Oregon. Locally, judges are selected by the program coordinator at the State Library, and those judges select a winner, runner-up, and potential honorable mentions for each contest level. In Oregon, anyone whose letter makes it through the national screening but does not place in the state is considered a semi-finalist. As a final step, the winning letter from each of the three levels for all participating states advances to be judged at the national level. Oregon students traditionally do well at the national level. All Oregon honorees receive a certificate from the Oregon Center for the Book. Additionally, first place winners each receive $100, runners-up $50, honorable mentions a $25 bookstore gift card, and semi-finalists a $10 bookstore gift card. These were the Oregon judges: Level I: author Dawn Prochovnic, children's librarian Kathy Viemeister, and school librarian Erin Fitzpatrick-Bjorn; Level II: author Pamela Smith Hill, youth librarian Ann SeCoy, and school librarian Shelby Linn; Level III: author Nancy Osa, youth librarian Violeta Garza, and retired school librarian Marlene Lee. ### -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Librarians Edith Campbell, Sarah Park Dahlen, Sujei Lugo, Lyn Miller-Lachmann, Debbie Reese, and Ebony Elizabeth Thomas worked together to create a diverse summer reading list: * Here is a link to the diverse booklist in blog format with images of the book covers and hyperlinks to a vendor they can be purchased from if you want to purchase them. * Here is a link to the same diverse booklist in printable format with no images and full title information. Enjoy!
