Kids 3: Fuzzy tails (DRAFT) Teen 3: Arrow T font (DRAFT) I am also pleased to announce that Governor Kitzhaber's signature will be on the summer reading certificates this year. This is the first year that a Governor has signed the Oregon Summer Reading Certificates! Public libraries may distribute Oregon Summer Reading Certificates to children and teens who complete their library's summer reading program. Teachers, reading specialists, and school librarians may present them to students who read or listen to 10 books over the summer. Those of you who ordered hardcopies should receive your summer reading certificates before June 1, 2013. Digital copies will be available to download and print on demand June 1 as well. The 2013 Summer Reading Program theme is underground, the children's slogan is "Dig Into Reading!" and the teen slogan is "Beneath the Surface". The children's summer reading art designed by Scott Nash and teen art by Duncan Long is used on these certificates with permission through Oregon public libraries' memberships to the Collaborative Summer Library Program. The Oregon Summer Reading Certificates are made available to teachers, schools, and libraries at no cost thanks to a collaboration between the Oregon State Library, Oregon Department of Education, and Oregon Library Association. A special 'THANK YOU' goes out to Becky Pearson, the librarian at McMinnville Public Library for designing the winning children's certificate and to the anonymous designer of the winning teen certificate. You both did a wonderful job!

This FREE webinar features a selection of hands-on Earth science activities designed for use with tweens and teens (ages 10-18). The STAR_Net project's Discover Earth: Hands-on Science Activities rely on inexpensive materials. Use food, games, and art to introduce tweens and teens to the special - and changing - nature of Earth's climate and kid-friendly pathways to environmental stewardship. Walk away from this training with: ? Activities, including one or more of the following (based on your input during the application process): ? Activity 7: Climate Tour: children ages 10 to 13 celebrate their region of the United States by creating a regionally-inspired postcard and recipe. Finally, they use a set of What if... cards about their region to reconsider their postcards and recipes in light of future climate change. ? Activity 8: Polar Bears or Penguins?: children ages 10 to 13 use a fast-action matching game to demonstrate how each of Earth's polar regions is distinct and special. ? Activity 9: Polar Bears Go with the Floes: In teams, children ages 11 to 13 build an understanding of how human actions impact global change by playing a board game in which chance and choice determine the fate of a lone polar bear on an ice floe. ? Activity 10: Earth: Artistically Balanced: Teens, ages 14 to 18, engage their communities in science through art. The teens first interact with a climate scientist to unravel, on a very basic level, the complexities of Earth's climate system, and then they create a three-dimensional artistic representation of Earth's climate. The art may be created on a large scale and displayed at the library or made on a smaller scale to take home. ? Partnership ideas: The activities in this webinar offer opportunities for partnership between public libraries and professionals in science-related occupations (e.g. climate scientist, high school environmental science teacher, or informal science educator at a park, museum, science center, or federal agency). Come with ideas for potential partnership and leave with even more! Or, seek a local partner at one of the institutions listed above and invite her or him to join us for the webinar! Space is limited! Apply at www.lpi.usra.edu/education/explore/lib_trainings/webinar_7may13/ Accepted applicants will receive connection information and an agenda prior to the webinar. We will also provide a materials list so that participants may collect some common items and try out the activities at their computers during the webinar. Participants will receive a certificate of completion following the webinar. More about the STAR_Net project's Discover Earth activities: The Discover Earth activities focus on Earth science topics close to home - such as local weather and the plants, animals, crops, and environmental features particular to your region - as well as a global view of our changing planet. Through hands-on investigations and discussions, young audiences discover that Earth's global environment changes - and is changed by - the local environment. Download the FREE Discover Earth materials, including 10 step-by-step activity guides, facilitator background information, lists of recommended supporting media, reading games, bookmarks, and badges at www.lpi.usra.edu/explore/discoverEarth/. The Discover Earth module is a product of the STAR Library Education Network project (STAR_Net), a national program to support libraries that provide - or want to provide - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) informal learning experiences. STAR_Net is led by the National Center for Interactive Learning (NCIL) at the Space Science Institute. The project team also includes the American Library Association (ALA), Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI), and National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP).

Newark, DE: International Reading Association, 2012. ISBN: 978-0-87207-478-1 Publisher's Description Selecting appropriate reading material for students is hard. For decades, teachers have known that quality instruction requires a careful matching of materials to students. The goal is to select materials that are neither too difficult nor too easy for students--a phenomenon sometimes called the Goldilocks Rule. To ensure that students learn to read increasingly complex texts, teachers have to understand what makes a text hard. The introduction of the Common Core State Standards has also placed a spotlight on text complexity. This book focuses on the quantitative and qualitative factors of text complexity as well as the ways in which readers can be matched with texts and tasks. It also examines how close readings of complex texts scaffold students understanding and allow them to develop the skills necessary to read like a detective. ---------------*****--------------- When you borrow from OSL, items will be checked out to your library for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos).

This conference is educational in nature, but with plenty of opportunity for networking. Our faculty includes a fabulous line up of authors and illustrators including Karen Cushman, Bruce Hale, Laini Taylor, Susan Fletcher, E.B. Lewis and Jim Di Bartolo (and that's just a teaser!). If you have an interest in writing/illustrating for children OR you want to mix and mingle with our faculty and other attendees, (many of whom are published authors and illustrators in their own right), please visit the following link for more information: http://www.scbwior.com/events/2013%20Conference/2013_Conf.html *SCBWI-OR members will be staffing Booth #5 in the exhibit hall at the OLA/WLA Spring Conference (on April 25 and 26). Stop by and meet some of our local authors/illustrators, find out how you can connect with our members to schedule school/library visits, get information about new and upcoming book releases for Oregon authors/illustrators, and learn more about the SCBWI and our interest in being a resource to you and the young readers you serve. *I will be attending the WLA/OLA Conference both Thursday and Friday, and I will be teaching a workshop on Friday afternoon. If you have specific ideas about how the SCBWI-OR could be a resource to you and the young readers you serve, or if you'd just like to put a face to the name, please get in touch so we can make a point to connect at the conference (or via email/phone).

Rather than me trying to explain, just click on this link: http://pinterest.com/pin/254171972689745073/ Maybe I?m just late to the party, but in case you?ve never heard of it either, do an Internet search for ?blackout poetry? to find tons of ideas. This would be a great activity for National Poetry Month, which is in April, of course. All you need is dark markers and pages from discarded books, newspapers, or magazines. Another fun idea, I thought, is encouraging teens (or anyone) to text a poem to a friend on Poem in Your Pocket Day which is April 18th. http://www.poets.org/page.php/prmID/406 FYI, Jen Jennifer Maurer School Library Consultant Oregon State Library 250 Winter Street NE Salem, OR 97301 503.378.5011 jennifer.maurer at state.or.us OSLIS || www.oslis.org Learn to research.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA2437EA2564@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Hi! At the YALSA teen summit in January there was a panel of 6 teens. Based on this small sampling, this is what I learned: 5 of the 6 teens agreed that they only use facebook because "we have to". That is how their soccer coach, drama teacher, and other adults communicate with them. It is also how they stay connected with family members they aren't close to. The one teen who disagreed was 13 and just allowed to get a facebook account for the first time so was really into it. The 5 older teens use Tumblr A LOT and blogs. They report sharing via blogs their own creations (self-made videos, photos of pottery they made, writing, etc) and sharing via Tumblr things they find online that other people created that the like. Blogs = this is me, tumblr =this is what I like/my community. Communication about everything seems to take place via texting. One person's coach would even send a text to teens telling them to check their email or FB to make sure they were getting important information. When it came down to it... face to face was still HUGE though. For example, a girl's pottery teacher encouraged her to explore a specific type of pottery, she then started looking for online communities about that specific thing via a wide-range of social media (more interested in the community than the type of social media). Her online community recommended some books which led her to go to the library. Once at the library she connected with the teen librarian who eventually convinced her to come to a program. After becoming a library user, then she started following the library's FB page to stay informed about what was going on at the library. Each teen on the panel had a similar story about how they use social media and connect with the library.

Many of us approach instruction with little to no formal training in "how to teach." We work hard in order to figure it out, we consult our colleagues and friends to discover "what works?" -yet several concepts--the mechanics of searching, plagiarism, scholarly discourse-- remain consistently elusive, and are therefore regularly addressed in professional forums... While these topics are frequently discussed, they are still challenging to solve. Through our reasoned and polite debate, we will discover great ideas to implement in the classroom, and identify deeper issues to discuss-such as developing a personal pedagogy, the role of teaching partners like faculty, teachers, volunteers and others, and the best tools and resources available to guide us as we work to become better teachers.

I work in a rural area with limited Internet access and a high poverty rate. All of the teens on my advisory board have basic cell phones, but other social media use seems to vary widely from teen to teen. Maybe that's why teens seem to use text messaging more widely than Facebook or other forms of Internet-based social media? It doesn't matter if you have a smartphone or a data plan or a wifi connection or some other device with Internet access. Even the most basic cell phones can send text messages to anyone, from anywhere. Plus, they're small enough to be easily carried around in your pocket or backpack. I read about Remind101 in a School Library Journal article. It's free, easy to use, and has been working well for me so far.

They are ?a set of rigorous, national science standards aligned with college- and career-ready expectations.? I think of them a bit like Common Core but for science ? mostly in that the development effort was led by multiple states, and multiple states will adopt the standards. According to Cheryl Kleckner, the science education specialist at the Oregon Department of Education, Oregon?s science standards that were adopted in 2009 strongly align with the framework on which the NGSS were built. During the next few months, the State Board of Education will decide whether or not to officially adopt the Next Generation Science Standards. If they do adopt them, the transition will happen over several school years. http://www.nextgenscience.org/ http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=3508 If you are interested in keeping a closer eye on how the Next Generation Science Standards might play out in Oregon, I suggest subscribing to the listserv that delivers the Oregon Science Teacher Update, a monthly newsletter from ODE. FYI, there are newsletters for all of the major subject areas. http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/or_sci_teachers http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=1843 Thanks, Jen Jennifer Maurer School Library Consultant Oregon State Library 250 Winter Street NE Salem, OR 97301 503.378.5011 jennifer.maurer at state.or.us OSLIS || www.oslis.org Learn to research.

The Achieve NGSS website includes the NGSS organized in two different arrangements as well as supporting documents and resources in the appendices. Twenty six states, including Oregon, and their broad-based teams worked together for two years with a 41-member writing team, Achieve, and partners to develop the standards which identify science and engineering practices and content that all K-12 students should master in order to be fully prepared for college, careers and citizenship. The NGSS were built upon a vision for science education established by the Framework for K-12 Science Education, published by the National Academies' National Research Council (NRC) in 2011. The creation of the NGSS was entirely state-driven, with no federal funds or incentives to create or adopt the standards. The NGSS are grounded in a sound, evidence-based foundation of current scientific research?including research on the ways students learn science effectively? and identify the science all K-12 students should know. Oregon?s 2009 Science Standards are in good alignment with the NRC Framework. It is based on the same research and the same big ideas, and it includes engineering design and scientific inquiry as the science practices, as do Oregon?s 2009 Science Standards. Districts should ?stay the course? and continue the good efforts already in place regarding implementation of Oregon?s 2009 Science Standards. During the coming months, the Oregon State Board of Education will determine whether or not to adopt the NGSS. Oregon Department of Education staff, in collaboration with the Oregon NGSS Lead State Team and science content and assessment advisory groups, will review the final NGSS and provide analysis as well as develop a potential timeline for adoption, transition, and implementation. Should the State Board adopt the Next Generation National Science Standards, it is important to remember that adoption does not mean instant implementation. It will take a number of years before these standards are implemented and assessed in Oregon schools. If they are adopted, through a thoughtful transition and implementation process, the standards will be phased in so that districts can implement changes in local curriculum, provide appropriate professional development for teachers, and provide students with opportunities to learn the content, practices, and cross-cutting concepts prior to assessment. Background information on the development of these standards as well as links to resources are available on the ODE NGSS web page.

The State Librarian has tracked the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) licensed school librarians employed in Oregon public schools since the 1980-81 school year. Recently we also started tracking the number of FTE school library support staff. For figures and a chart related to the 31-year span, see the attached PDF. Here is brief snapshot: School Year FTE Library Support Staff FTE Licensed Librarians Percent Change from 1980 to 2011 No. of Students Per Licensed Librarian Percent Change from 1980 to 2011 1980-81 n/a 818 n/a 547 n/a 2010-11 682 308 n/a 1,822 n/a 2011-12 697 203 -75% 2,763 +405% The information comes from the Oregon Department of Education. As of the last few years, some of the figures were pulled from the Oregon Statewide Annual Report Card. Note that the staffing chart on PDF page 15 of the 2011-12 report card (and for some previous years) combines figures for school library licensed and support staff. When we pointed out that this could be confusing since there is a separate row for support staff, ODE added a note to the bottom of the chart. We seek clarification from ODE staff about the separate figures for licensed versus support staff. Questions? Please ask.

How about statistics for reports to funders and other stakeholders? Perhaps you need statistics for material to promote your library? Now is a great time to update your statistics and bookmark some statistics websites for future use. Several of my favorite sources for statistics have recently posted their latest data! * Children First for Oregon: There is one page for the state of Oregon, then there is a page for each county so you can get statistics specific to your county and compare them with similar counties or with statewide statistics. Posted their 2012 County Data Book last week! * Oregon Department of Education: Reports: Allows you to get school district level statistics on Reading & Lit. Click on 'Assessment', look under 'Results-District and School' and click on 'Search Test Results (2004-2012)' and you'll pull up a page that allows you to create detailed reports by year, district, population, and subject. Added 2012 data in January. * OregonLive.com: Your Schools: Provides similar information as ODE. There aren't as many options for creating detailed reports as ODE, but their reports are more user-friendly snapshots of statistics. Added 2012 data in January. * National Center for Education Statistics: They have tons of statistics, but their 'Fast Facts' page is pretty easy to use. Click on 'Assessments', then click on 'Reading' and you should find national statistics. You can also find state-by-state ranking under 'Assessments' if you are interested in learning how Oregon compares. Enjoy!

Message-ID: <8809d8856037ed3c5483cf872f97ced7@cclsd.org> Dear fabulous teen-loving librarians! I came back from the national CSLP annual meeting in Atlanta utterly stoked about the work all of us do, for summer reading and all year 'round. And one reason I was so stoked was that I got to watch each of the winning state entries in the Teen Video Challenge! The videos range all the way from clever to touching and back, and I hope you have as much fun watching them as we all did at CSLP. And here they are: http://www.cslpreads.org/programs/young-adult-program/teen-video-challenge/2013-teen-video-winners.html Or, point people to www.cslpreads.org, and scroll down to see the banner for "Teen Video Challenge Winners" on the right. Of course, they're not just great videos to watch: they're great videos to share. The goal of the contest is to produce videos any library around the country can use to promote their own summer reading program for teens. Feel free to link to any of these videos (but especially Oregon's!), to embed them on your websites and blogs and Facebook, etc., etc., etc.! I'm also attaching CSLP's official press release, to use as you see fit. Oregon's winning entry is "Save the Books", a zombie adventure from the team at Cedar Mill Community Library. Congratulations! We had three entries in Oregon, and all three were terrific. A group from Broadway Middle School in Seaside made their "Beneath The Surface" TV show. Meghan Loftus from Stayton made the eery "What Lurks Beneath". It was very close voting, and all three entries could have made us proud at the national level. Let's make the world of reading tremble "Beneath the Surface" this year! And look forward to next year's theme, "Unmask!"
