Is your library thinking about adding a science and math component to programming, but you haven't implemented anything yet? Here is a new report was just release on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) all types of programs that take place outside of school time. The report identifies the following common STEM developmental outcomes and indicators of progress which align with the approach libraries many libraries are taking to add STEM to their programming. These may be good objectives to use in your planning and evaluation of STEM programs in your library. If you have less than 5 minutes, just look at page 6 which has a great chart of the outcomes and indicators. If you have 5-10 minutes you should also read the executive summary on page 5. Here are the recommended outcomes with their indicators of progress, see the chart on page 6 to learn the sub-indicators. * Youth develop interest in STEM and STEM learning activities. o Active participation in STEM learning opportunities. o Curiosity about STEM topics, concepts or practices. * Youth develop capacities to productively engage in STEM learning activities. o Ability to productively engage in STEM processes of investigation. o Ability to exercise STEM relevant life and career skills. * Youth come to value the goal of STEM and STEM learning activities. o Awareness of STEM professions. o Understanding the value of STEM in society.

For Keats, it was at public school that he received his greatest encouragement to pursue his vocation as an artist. And the public library was a haven that introduced him to the wonders of art history. To offer a similar experience to new generations, the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation created a funding initiative called Minigrants, through which awards of $500 are given to public schools and public libraries for projects that foster creative expression, working together and interaction with a diverse community. They also represent an opportunity for educators, whose efforts are often inadequately funded or recognized, to create special activities outside the standard curriculum and make time to encourage their students." For more information and the grant application, click on the first link above. It is evident from the examples of outstanding Minigrant projects that the targeted age range can include older children: http://www.ezra-jack-keats.org/minigrant-program/outstanding-minigrant-programs/.

Oregon Battle of the Books is an all volunteer program that can always use more help, especially with people who would be willing to act as moderators, time keepers, and score keepers at the regional and state competitions. Interested individuals are invited to go to the Oregon Battle of the Books wiki page and view the information about regionals (http://oboblsta.pbworks.com/w/page/58932670/Regionals). They can then contact their local regional directors and get more information about volunteering for a few hours to support reading in Oregon.

In it the authors emphasize the role that school and public librarians can play in helping educators implement the standards. Also, I thought Stephen Krashen's comments at the end of the article were interesting. However, since Oregon adopted the Common Core in 2010, we are expected to move forward.

Now in it's sixth year, the Doodle 4 Google Program is a competition open to K-12 students in U.S. schools. Students are asked to create their own Google Doodle around this year's theme "My Best Day Ever..." The winning artist's Doodle will be displayed on the Google homepage for millions to see, and the winner will receive a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 technology grant for their school. More information and entry forms are available online at: http://www.google.com/doodle4google/ Google judges the entries based on the grade level of the students who submit them. Google will pick one winner from each grade category per state and then one overall winner for each state from those semi-finalists. On May 1, Google will announce 50 state winners who will be eligible for the grand prize. Google will host a fun event at the winning student's school right here in Oregon. The grand prize winner will be announced on May 22nd at the Final Awards Ceremony in New York City. This is a great program that children, teachers and community leaders love but Google needs your help to take it to the next level. Submissions are due on March 22nd. Google is launching a "race to the finish" competition between all 50 states. The interactive map tracker on www.google.com/doodle4google will show the leadings states with the most submissions relative to student population size. Google will be alerting local media and others to which states are generating the most submissions.

It was founded in the Livingston Manor Free Library (serving an upstate New York district of 3,483) in February of 2012. Manor Ink was born to provide teens with employment skills while giving the community a local news source. A core group of 15 young people ages 9 to 19 meet weekly in the library with dedicated adult mentors. In an era when local newspapers and small libraries are struggling, Manor Ink has brought vitality to both and an expression of hope to a careworn community.

Teaching with Text Sets. Huntington Beach, CA: Shell Education, 2012. ISBN: 978-1425806880 Publisher's Description Looking for a way to increase engagement, differentiate instruction, and incorporate more informational text and student writing into your curriculum? Teaching with Text Sets is your answer! This must-have resource walks you through the steps to create and use multi-genre, multimodal text sets for content area and language arts study. It provides detailed information support you as you choose topics, locate and evaluate texts, organize texts for instruction, and assess student learning. The guide is an excellent resource to help you meet the Common Core and other state Standards. What is a Text Set? Can I See an Example? Ms. Cappiello, one of the book's authors, defines a text set and offers two models in a posting on the blog called The Classroom Bookshelf. Jen's Notes While the focus of this book is text sets for elementary and middle school, the concept can be applied to high school as well. I was impressed with the thought that went into this book. For example, the authors mention libraries and subscription databases. The ideas are something you can share with teachers if/as you help them find resources to support the Common Core State Standards. Be sure to check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog (http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/) to discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection, and search our catalog (http://oregon.gov/OSL/index.shtml) for our complete holdings. The library science collection is meant to support the whole Oregon library community. The Library Development Division welcomes your suggestions for acquisitions.
