Well the big day finally came on May 4 and Dr. Ross Todd was in Albany for his presentation. We had a great turnout at Hudson Valley Community College. Dr. Todd challenges us once again to turn theory into practice.
Instead of these presentations being a finish – they are really a beginning. Now that we have learned about the research, how do we turn that into improved practice in our schools?
Dr Todd quoted an unidentified building principal, “I hear all these great things about school libraries, but I don’t see them happening in my school.”
Could that be one of our principals? Maybe! If so, we need to work on improving all school library programs until these perceptions are banished!
Onward!
