[CALIBK12] Carol Shuey-- Thank you

[Jamie Boston]

Jeanne is so right.  We can never thank Carol Shuey enough.  She is the 
most amazing person and dedicated 100%  of her energy into making our 
conferences the best for the vendors, the presenters and the attendees.  We 
love you, Carol.

"Strong school libraries increase student achievement." - California School 
Library Association

“Research from eleven states and over 4,000 schools documents that 
credentialed LMTs raise achievement scores anywhere from 8-20%. Support 
personnel alone in an LMC do not raise achievement but credentialed LMTs 
do. Why? Because the LMT concentrates on teaching and learning rather than 
on managing a warehouse. When there is no LMT, achievement suffers – its 
people rather than just things that make the difference.” -Loertscher, 
David V. with Ross J. Todd. Evidence-Based Practice for School Library 
Media Specialists. Salt Lake City UT: Hi Willow Research & Publishing, 2003.
