[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] teacher librarian impact study

[Lesley Farmer]

Higher test scores linked to certified media specialists Preliminary
findings of research show a statistically significant increase in the
ELA test scores—almost a 10 point difference—among fourth-grade
students whose schools had certified librarians over students in
schools without certified librarians. Certified librarians are also
more likely to provide students with materials that present more
diverse points of view and that better support the curriculum than
non-certified librarians.Small, R., et al. (2008). New York State's
