[CALIBK12] Great news on linking CA libraries to achievementy

[David loertscher]

I would like to be the first to congratulate Dr. Douglas Achterman for
defending his doctoral dissertation at the University of North Texas this
morning.

His study follows in the footsteps of the Keith Lance studies linking
California school library media programs to achievement, particularly at the
high school level. It is a much stronger study than a similar one done a few
years ago in California on the same topic. The evidence is particularly
strong when a full time teacher librarian supported by a full time clerical
is in place.

I know that Dr. Doug will be presenting his findings at CSLA, so you will
want to attend his presentation.

Congratulations, Dr. Achterman!!!!!!!!!!!
