School Reform and the School Library Media Specialist

by Sandra Hughes-Hassell

This third entry in the Principles and Practice series focuses on the role of the library media specialist as a change agent in the school. The purpose of this book is to provide insight into the role of the school librarian as change agent and to demonstrate strategies for being an effective change agent using a subset of current reform initiatives. The authors are educators, library media specialists, and researchers who share a common belief in the ability of classroom teachers, administrators, library media specialists, parents, and community members to work together to create schools that make a difference in the lives of students, and help produce citizens who have a capacity to cope with change in the future.
