Oregon adopts the Next Generation Science Standards as the new Oregon Science Standards! In April 2013, the final Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), a new set of voluntary, rigorous, and internationally benchmarked standards for K-12 science education, were released. Oregon was one of 26 lead states that worked with Achieve and the standards writers to develop the NGSS. On Thursday, March 6, 2014, the Oregon State Board of Education (SBE) voted unanimously to adopt the NGSS as the new Oregon Science Standards. The adoption includes the grade level middle school science standards sequence unanimously recommended by the Oregon Science Content and Assessment Panel that was developed under the leadership of the California Science Experts Panel. The Oregon SBE Chair and Members are incredible supporters of science education (and the NGSS). It was a joy to see the unanimous support for these standards and for providing a high quality science education for all Oregon students. You can access the Oregon NGSS review report and materials provided to the SBE as well as the archived video of the meeting on the SBE website. Oregon was privileged to work with an incredible group of dedicated, talented, and passionate educators and community members serving on the Oregon Science Content and Assessment Panel, who did the hard work and provided the alignment crosswalks, proposed timelines, and critical recommendations to the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and SBE. You can view the list of panel members and the materials for each of their meetings on the webpage created for the Oregon NGSS review process. The alignment crosswalks and transition/implementation timelines provided to the SBE are going through a final editing review and will be posted on the ODE science webpage soon. It is important to remember that the new Oregon Science Standards (NGSS) will be phased in so that districts can implement changes in local curriculum, provide appropriate professional development for teachers and administrators, and provide students with opportunities to learn the content, practices, and cross-cutting concepts prior to assessment. Oregon students will continue to be assessed on the Oregon 2009 Science Content Standards via OAKS Science until a new science assessment that aligns with the newly adopted standards is developed and becomes operational in 2018-2019. Background information on the development of the NGSS as well as links to resources are available on the ODE NGSS web page.

Creative Reader's Advisory Posted on March 7, 2014 by Elisabeth Gattullo Marrocolla There are kids who walk into the Children's Library, walk right up to the desk, and tell you exactly what they're looking for. There are kids with definite opinions and kids whose taste is harder to suss out. All these kids are a part of the joy of Reader's Advisory - the easy ones make you feel like you're aces at your job, while the difficult ones make you feel like a superhero when you find the perfect book for them to read. But there is another group of kids that we noticed we were not reaching - the ones who won't approach the librarian for suggestions, even when coaxed. At the same time, we noted our new fiction displays were not emptying out as quickly as they once had. In an effort to reach those children who don't like to come to the librarian for RA and to help kids realize that there were worthy options among the new fiction, we started adding a simple and effective bit of hands-off RA to our displays. [ab5] Sneaky RA! photo provided by the author What we did was simple and not groundbreaking, but it has amped up our new fiction turnaround to the point where are there are days that we run out of new books in the library! I used the die-cut machine to punch out roughly 1 zillion (a real number) bright yellow medallions, on which we wrote "For Kids Who Love...." and then inserted the title of a similar book that kids will know. The thing that makes this so effective is we exclusively link the new books to massively popular titles and authors. This lets both kids and parents who might not be familiar with popular but mid-list titles recognize books they may want to read. Does the book have family issues or emotional plot beats? For kids who love Wonder. Are there animals who talk/have feelings? For kids who love The One and Only Ivan. Is there any magic? For kids who love Harry Potter. [What's your favorite book's soulmate? photo provided by the author] What's your favorite book's soulmate? photo provided by the author We started applying this to our themed fiction displays as well. For example, in February, we had a Book Soulmates display. We invited kids to discover the soulmate to their favorite book and then linked massively popular titles to older books that need a new audience. This allowed me to FINALLY convince a child to check out Good Night, Mr. Tom, a book with some of the worst cover art I have ever seen, but which I love so much I wrote about it here. I advertised its soulmate as Number the Stars, since they're both about children's experiences during WWII. And Mr. Tom hasn't been checked in since! [The author's favorite tiara and everyone's favorite song. photo provided by the author] The author's favorite tiara and everyone's favorite song. photo provided by the author We plan to keep this up for as long as it's effective. Patron feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Both parents and kids have remarked that they love the new displays, and our only questions have been about whether or not it's ok to disturb the display and/or take a book with a medallion on it. Now I just need to figure out how to tie together princesses, RA, and like titles for this display, and I'll be golden! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The authors show how staff can enable full use of the library's resources by integrating the methods of educators, medical and psychological therapists, social workers, librarians, parents, and other caregivers. Widening the scope to address the needs of teens as well as preschool and school-age children, this edition also discusses the needs of Spanish-speaking children with disabilities and their families, looking at cultural competency as well as Spanish-language resources. Enhanced with checklists, stories based on real experiences, descriptions of model programs and resources, and an overview of appropriate internet sites and services, this how-to gives thorough consideration to * Partnering and collaborating with parents and other professionals * Developing special collections and resources * Assessing competencies and skills * Principles underlying family-centered services and resource-based practices * The interrelationship of early intervention, special education, and library service (book description) Other resources to help with including families of children with special needs.

ISBN 978-1-55570-990-7 Spaces that have been designed to allow users to create, build, and learn new projects and technologies, makerspaces employ a variety of tools such as 3-D printers, AutoCAD design software, and even open-source hardware like Arduino Kits. Developing a community around shared use of space and equipment, a tenet of the makerspace movement, fits squarely into libraries mission. Bagley examines nine makerspaces in public, academic, and school libraries, describing their design and technical decisions in depth and showing how each is doing something unique and different, under a wide range of budgets and project offerings. Enabling readers to quickly gather information about these trailblazing projects, Bagley's guide * Defines the makerspace, and describes why it fits perfectly into the librarys role as community center; * Answers common questions about implementing a makerspace project, detailing how libraries are addressing issues such as registration, usage policy, noise, software programs in digital workspaces, adapting spaces, funding, and promotion; * Illustrates approaches libraries are taking to staffing makerspaces, from Anchorage Public Library's Maker in Residence and Mesa Public Library's THINKspot coordinator, to the library school students involved with University of Michigan and University of Illinois makerspace projects; * Covers the demographics of makerspace users, from children and teens to hobbyists and job seekers, offering guidance for targeting, marketing, and programming. A sourcebook of ideas that readers can apply at their own institutions, this resource also demonstrates how makerspaces can be gathering places for people to learn how to create and build together as a community.

This ideas was just shared on ALA's Association of Library Services to Children's listserv and thought you all might be interested. If you have a nearby college or university with student teachers, you might try contacting them to make a partnership for tutoring. We partner with a local college with student teachers who need contact hours with students for class and pair them with students who need reading help. So the kids get help and the student teachers get the practice and credits they need, and we write them a letter of recommendation.
