3. Inside Board Books: Representations of People of Color

Author

Hughes-Hassell, Sandra and Cox, Ernie J.

Abstract

Research suggests that exposure to books and other resources about people who look like them, and stories that reflect their world, may contribute to an infant and toddler of color's developing appreciation of self. The purpose of this study was to examine children's board books published between 2003 and 2008 to determine the representation of people of color. The findings were analyzed using the lenses of critical race theory and the typology developed by Rudine Sims Bishop to describe African American children's literature. The results indicated that, despite the increasing ethnic and racial diversity in the United States, board books that feature people of color are rare and often present inauthentic and monolithic representations. Even rarer seems to be the creation of board books by authors and illustrators of color. The authors conclude that the lack of board books featuring children of color denies these children an important resource for developing a positive self-concept.

4. Assessing Student Evaluations of Resources: Approximation of Expertise

Author

Cox, Ernie

Abstract

Teaching the evaluation of information resources can be daunting for both students and educators. In an information environment in which resource types are ever-changing, how does the school librarian assess the evaluative skills of students? The assessments ought to reflect the malleable nature of online resources. To engage students in a formative process of evaluating and using dynamic information resources, this author is experimenting with instruction and assessments that relate to performance tasks. This article illustrates how he developed a sports project to revitalize fourth-grade reading and writing, and to introduce deeper research skills. The author stresses that in assessing student performance, school librarians are looking for an approximation of the resource evaluation skill set as these skills have been worked into this particular project.

6. Critical Friends Groups: Learning Experiences for Teachers

Author

Cox, Ernie

Abstract

How can school librarians know about other teachers' professional development experiences? School librarians need time to talk with fellow teachers about the wide range of issues and challenges present in schools. A collaborative mission gives precious time to create learning opportunities for students; but does it give enough time for reflective practice by the school librarian and content area teachers? School librarians can lead the way to creating more time for the adult learners in K-12 buildings--the teachers. Launching this effort will require a format of professional learning that can work within the current system. A Critical Friends Group (CFG) is an ideal way to shift the paradigm to teacher as learner. These groups contain all the attributes of great professional development, such as job-embedded, ongoing, and personalized. Tips on how to establish a Critical Friends Group are provided.
