Using Large-Scale Assessments to Evaluate the Effectiveness of School Library Programs in California
Phi Delta Kappan, Vol. 88, No. 09 (May 2007): 710-711.
Stacy Sinclair-Tarr and William Tarr, Jr.
This California study of 4,022 schools examined the relationship between the presence of school libraries, as defined by staffing, and student achievement, as measured by both criterion-referenced and norm-referenced assessments. While statistically significant positive relationships were found between the presence of a school library and student achievement at the elementary and middle school levels, no statistically significant relationships were found at the high school level. This finding has implications not only for school library programs, but also for how schools are compared in future studies, because unlike previous studies, student and school demographic challenges were compared cumulatively instead of individually.
