contents Change in School Librarian Staffing Linked with Change in CSAP Reading Performance, 2005 to 2011. A Closer Look Lance, Keith Curry Hofschire, Linda School Libraries Librarians Common Core State Standards Reading Achievement Standardized Tests Reading Tests Grade 4 National Competency Tests Reading Skills Scores Poverty Public Schools Correlation The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) Standards for the 21st Century Learner do not just pay lip-service to the value of reading. They have been aligned with the Common Core standards that were derived from, and now influence, state standards-based tests, such as the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP) reading tests. It is clear that school librarians consider the teaching and encouragement of reading--both for curricular reasons and as a lifelong learning skill--to be among their most basic responsibilities. Accordingly, they intentionally pursue a wide variety of activities that should be expected to have a direct impact on students' reading scores. The authors, who previously presented a national analysis of National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) state-level data on librarian staffing and fourth-grade reading scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), return to the Colorado context to examine the relationships between changes in school library staffing and changes in CSAP reading scores over time. The authors found that students at schools that gained or maintained an endorsed librarian to manage the library program averaged higher CSAP reading scores and higher increases in those scores over time than students at schools whose library programs were run by either non-endorsed librarians or library assistants. An appendix presents tables that provide detailed results of the statistical analyses reported in this article.
