    Description of Site and Learners

    Chestatee Elementary is located in North Forsyth County, Georgia. Chestatee School has been in existence since 1929 when it was the only

    school in North Forsyth and housed all ages from k 12. In 1967, the school was rebuilt as an elementary school, but it has seen many facelifts

    and upgrades since then. The current school houses over 1,000 students from pre-k 5th grades. It sits in a very diverse area of Forsyth County.

    The population is divided between children who reside in subdivisions ranging from 100,000 1,000,000 homes, farms, lake homes, and

    subsidized governmental housing. The school qualifies for Title 1 services, due to the high population of students who receive free and reduced

    lunch. The faculty of the school is made up of 3 administrators, 58 certified homeroom teachers, 12 special education teachers, 2 ELL teachers, 2

    gifted teachers, 8 Title 1 and EIP teachers, 1 Media Specialist, 1 Instructional Technology Specialist, 2 counselors, and 15 paraprofessionals.

    With the growth of the school through the years, one can see why the media center would be relocated, rebuilt, and redecorated over 10 times in 40

    years. Currently, it is located in the center of the school and is home to 15,642 titles for a total of 20,480 copies of materials, which include books,

    periodicals, and audio visual collection. Forsyth County is known for being a technologically driven school system. Every classroom in the county

    is equipped with a Promethean ACTIV board and at least 4 desktop computers. The media center at Chestatee is no exception to this. It has a mini

    lab that has 14 desktop computers, and 4 more desktop computers are located within the media center for card catalog use. A Promethean board islocated in the story corner, and another projector is in the mini lab for teacher instruction. The students of Chestatee are introduced to Destiny and

    GALILEO early, and they use it throughout their elementary years.

    With all of these positive aspects, it would seem only natural that Chestatees media center would be the heart of the school, but sadly, it is not. As

    one will see throughout this report, quantity of titles and technology does not always mean there is an actively used media center.

    Curriculum Review

    For my collection development activity I decided to focus on the broad topic of American History. The standards within this topic are coveredfrom 3rd 5th grade. Currently, there are a total of 506 students in grades 3 through 5. There are nine 3 rd grade homerooms, seven 4th grade

    homerooms, and seven 5th grade homerooms. Like the demographic makeup, this population is very diverse as well. All 3grade levels are made

    up of regular education, special education, EIP, Title 1, and ELL students.

    Each of the nine 3rd grade teachers, teaches all subjects in a self contained environment. The special education students are served in an inclusion

    setting as well as a pull out self contained classroom. The EIP program is a pull out class that provides students who are low level learners the

    opportunity to receive 2 sections of reading and/ or math. The Title 1 teachers serve as lab teachers in the morning as well as inclusion teachers.

    Additionally, the 3rd grade ELL students are pulled out to be served by an ELL teacher in a separate classroom. All though it is a wonderful plan to

  • 8/8/2019 Collection Dev. Plan2

    3/19

    provide these students with extra support, often the children who are served through pull out programs end up missing their social studies blocks

    for the double dipping of instruction.

    Similarly, the 4th grade at Chestatee is made up of the same demographic groups of children. Most of the special services operate in the same

    manner, but the 4th grade teachers are somewhat departmentalized with three teams of two teachers, and one self contained classroom. In the

    classrooms that have team teachers, one teacher teaches English and language arts alongside social studies while one teacher teaches math

    alongside science.

    As the students move into 5th grade, they experience the same classroom settings, except that one of the 5 th grade teams is totally departmentalized.

    This team serves the special education students, and therefore has a block of inclusion math, inclusion ELA, and para support in the Science and

    Social Studies classroom.

    The table below shows the breakdown of the various sub groups.

    It is obvious by looking at the standards that the 3 rd, 4th, and 5th grades have a heavy emphasis on the topic of America/ American History. In order

    to teach these areas to their fullest extent it is necessary for the teachers to utilize not only the text books, but as many other resources as possible.

    In order to evaluate the needs of the collection, I needed to further understand the activities and assessments that were used with these standards as

    well as any other resources teachers used to instruct their students in the GPS that involve American History. In order to attain this information, Icreated a questionnaire and survey for the teachers to complete. The survey can be seen at http://www.polldaddy.com/s/8616291C805D62AA/ .

    The following data shares various results of the survey taken by Chestatee teachers.

    A total of 12 teachers responded to the survey. Five were 3rd grade teachers, four were 4 th grade teachers, and three were 5 th grade teachers.

    The survey was very helpful in establishing what the teachers use as resources for their classroom instruction. The following table demonstrates

    the results of the survey.

    Due to the fact that Forsyth County is so technologically minded, most teachers have received regular training on how to use the resources we

    have available. As stated previously, we use the ACTIV boards daily, and our students are able to use them as well. We have been equipped with

    wonderful programs like Activstudio, Graph Club, Kidspiration, Open office, Photo Story, and PIXIE. All of these programs should be used as

    resources along side the titles we have available in the media center. As the above chart demonstrates, many teachers are more comfortable with

    the technology resources and do not utilize the additional resources from the MC.

    The teachers also shared lessons that they have correlated to the existing curriculum map created by Forsyth County Schools. They provided

    wonderful examples, but many were overlapping in standards. The following table shows some of the favorite lessons mentioned by the teachers

    in the survey. I have included resources that would be needed to help facilitate these lessons.

    3rd Grade

    SS3CG2

    SS3E2

    Activities and Assessments

    * The students will explore how characters like

    Paul Revere demonstrated the character traits weshould exemplify. The students will compare and

    contrast Paul Revere to themselves.

    * The assessment will be ongoing throughout the

    year as we learn about each monthly character trait

    and its historical figure, the students will write in

    their journal sharing ways that they have

    demonstrated this trait, or things they could do to

    be better.

    * The students will understand the impact of

    government services like schools, libraries, roads,

    police & fire on their community.

    * The students work together to create a town that

    needs all of the community services. They use

    books and websites to find out how a town

    operates. The accountability system within the

    Resources Needed

    * Biographies on Paul Revere and other historical American

    figures.

    * Video on character traits that display the American Historical

    figures.

    * Videos that show the various community employees.

    * Guest speakers from the community to talk about the job and

    how it impacts the community.

    * Books that are easy to read for students to be able to research

    the various jobs.

    * Textbook, nonfiction books that help to explain government

    employees of a town.

    * The students will learn and understand the 3

    branches of government. The students explore the

    branches using the textbook and audiovisual

    materials from the Media Center.

    * In groups the students create posters that explain

    the branches and then the students teach it to the

    rest of the class.

    and specifically the branches of gov't. (These need to be on a

    3rd grade level and even lower if possible)

    * AV materials that help to show the branches.

    4th Grade

    SS4H1a,b

    Activities and Assessments

    * The students will explore the various tribes of

    Native Americans. By using the textbook and other

    resources the students will look at where the tribes

    dwelt, what kind of habitat they lived in, and what

    future Americans were able to learn from their

    tribe.

    * The students will be divided into groups. They

    will have to research the assigned tribe, and thencreate several different multimedia displays for

    their classmates to see and learn from. On the

    sharing day, the students will set up in a location of

    the room and the visiting classes will come to them

    as if they are in a museum. They will teach the

    other students about these aspects that accompany

    their tribe.

    Resources Needed

    * Textbook, internet sites, videos, and books about Native

    American Tribes.

    SS4G2c, SS4H3b

    * The students will explore and understand what

    colonial life was like compared to their lives today.

    Using the textbook, they will read about the

    colonies, and then supplemental reading will be

    provided for further reading. Videos will be shownto give the students a mental picture.

    The students will work on creating a map of the

    colonies to show their geographical awareness, and

    then they will create a newspaper for colonial times

    that demonstrates their awareness of political

    issues, home life, and entertainment. Finally, the

    students will use a Venn diagram to compare and

    contrast the life of a colonial child to that of a 21st

    century child.

    * Textbook, videos, books, internet sites.

    5th Grade

    SS5H1b

    Activities and Assessments

    * The students will understand slavery and states

    rights, including the Underground Railroad.

    * During this unit the students will learn about

    American History figures who helped create the

    Underground Railroad, like Harriet Tubman. The

    students will read biographies, books, and even

    hear music that impacted this time period. As a

    culminating activity, the students will participate in

    an Underground Railroad simulation in which they

    will take on the roles of the various individuals and

    feel the anxiety and sorrow of escaping to an

    unknown freedom. Following the simulation, the

    Resources Needed

    * Textbook, biographies of African American slaves, internet

    resources, atlas, and maps of America during the time period of

    the Civil War.

    SS5H3a, G1b,

    H3d,

    students will create a journal that might outline the

    days of a slave during the Underground Railroad.

    * Movement and migration: The students will

    understand how Western Expansion and cattledrives impacted the United States in an economic

    way. The students will also explore the same realm

    of thinking in regards to emigration into the US

    through Ellis Island.

    The students will create persuasive brochures to

    convince people in the BIG cities to move west and

    take up jobs within the cattle drives, farms, or gold

    rush.

    The students will research their own familys

    immigration to find out how their family traveled

    to end up living in this community. (Many students

    will be able to research further back, but some

    cannot so we allow for some variance.)

    * Textbook, books about immigration, westward expansion,

    and atlases that show the US past and present.

    Collection Evaluation

    After looking at the standards and the needs of the individual learners and classroom teachers, I assessed the actual collection of materials thatwould be included in the topic of America/American History.

    I first went to the media center and located the books using our Destiny Program. I quickly realized it was necessary for me to enter several

    different terms to locate the complete selection. In total out of the 20,480 books in the media center, there are a total of 2,230 books that could be

    categorized under the topic of America/American History. However, all of these books do not correlate with the social studies standards. The

    following chart displays how the resources in the media center align to the various topics within the standards. Some of the resources overlap, and

    it is therefore not an accurate depiction to count each of these as a separate title.

  • 8/8/2019 Collection Dev. Plan2

    10/19

    Topic in standard Resources available

    Government There are 174 titles within the media center collection. The majority of the titles are found in the nonfiction

    section, but there are 7 videos that fall into this subject as well.

    Maps, Globes and Atlases In the subject of American History none of the Atlases correspond, however, there are 6 Atlas books that show

    maps of the US. All of these are copyright 1998 2004. None of this collection shows historical maps to help

    students see the geographical make up of the US during these time periods.

    Biographies There are 614 Biographies in all in the media center. 500 of these could be used to align with the 3rd, 4th, and

    5th grade standards. There are 3 videos that are considered American Biographies.

    Native Americans There are 325 titles in the media center that are about the subject of Native Americans. The titles are fiction,

    nonfiction, biography, and easy reader. Although, there are so many, there are only 3 out of this collection that

    actually contain information comparing and contrasting tribes. Many of the titles were about specific NativeAmericans, or stories of Native Americans.

    Colonies The collection of 2,230 books only contained 14 books about colonies. This is certainly a weakness that needs

    to be built. There were no videos that were found under this topic.

    States There are 1,353 books that are about states. This is a HUGE number of titles when compared to the actual

    standards that are about specific states. Most of these titles were found in the nonfiction section, only about 5%

    of the 1,353 were included in a fictional book. None of the 3 grade levels have standards that focus specifically

    on individual states. Although these are wonderful books for the students to read, and learn from, I feel that

    over 1,000 books on this subject are too much. (The 1,000 books were not each about specific states, many of

    these titles overlapped into other subjects such as government, colonies, wars, and reference materials)

    Revolutionary War There are a total of 33 books in the media center. I was able to locate all 33 books. Most of them were in the

    nonfiction section, but I did notice that most of them had a reading level of 5.6 or higher. The fictional books

    i.e My Brother Sam is Dead are also higher levels (4.9) which may deter students from checking them out.

    They are hardly used and in wonderful condition. These facts bring to question whether they are not used

    because the reading level is too difficult for a 4 th grade student, or if the teachers have just forgotten about

  • 8/8/2019 Collection Dev. Plan2

    11/19

    them.

    Civil War The Civil War section of the media center is well circulated. There are 214 books that align with these

    standards. The selection includes fictional, nonfiction, biographies, and videos.

    Immigration and

    Movement

    This too is a well used section. Several of the state books mentioned earlier also overlap into this section

    giving it a total of 46 titles. There are 10 videos that correspond with immigration, and 15 fictional titles. The

    westward expansion aspect of the movement is not addressed as well as it could be considering the magnitude

    of this standard. There are 3 books about the Transcontinental Railroad, and 6 books about cowboys, but these

    do not necessarily go along with westward expansion.

    World Wars The Chesatee media center has 110 titles about World War I or World War II. Twenty seven of the titles are

    included in the fictional section, and the rest are nonfiction, biographies, states books, reference materials and

    videos.

    Cold War to present There were only 46 titles that could be included in this topic. Most of them were biographies of current day

    sports figures and politicians. With the changing world and economy, it is important to stay abreast of the most

    current issues. I was disappointed to see that the media center didn't have any books on 9/11 or the Gulf War.

    Looking at the selection in a quantitative way allowed me to see that there would seem to be plenty of books in this selection, but after looking

    more deeply it is evident that the quantity of books are not proportional to the standards that are taught. Additionally, it caused me to inquire how

    many of these books are actively circulated throughout the year. In order for me to look at the selection from a user centered approach, the media

    specialist was able to do a query of the books in the 900 section, and we were not necessarily surprised to see that only 37% of the books haveeven been checked out this year. Through our Destiny program, we were also able to see what age-group of children is checking out these books.

    The following graph displays these figures.

    This data is very interesting considering 63% of the books that have been circulated are in the 4.6 reading level and higher. Looking at this data, I

    have evaluated there is a need for books in this selection that are on a lower reading level.

    After examining the quantitative data, I needed to assess the collection from a collection-centered approach. Due to the large amount of books in

    the collection on this topic area, I randomly sampled books from the biographies, states, government, reference area, and fictional section. The

    media center is neatly organized with signs that direct the students to the shelves using the Dewey Decimal system. The fictional selection runs

    parallel to the nonfiction section which does create some confusion if the students are not using the signs appropriately. The most obvious thing I

    was able to see was that there are so many books on the shelves, I am sure that students get overwhelmed when looking for titles. Weeding is

    definitely needed to narrow down the selection to relevant books. The media specialist informed me that she weeds as necessary, and just last

    summer she took all of the titles that had a copyright date of 1975 or older out of the nonfictional section. The overall quality of the books was

    very good. Most of the books that I inspected were practically brand new, and had hardly any wear. A solution to having the books so crammedcould be to display more of the books. This may bring additional attention to the topics that are not getting the circulation that others are getting.

    The final area that I evaluated was the non-print section. Chestatee does not have a large audio visual selection in general. Most teachers choose to

    use resources such as United Streaming to supplement their lessons. For this reason, the AV materials have not been updated, and there are many

    titles that could be relevant to this topic that are not currently found in the media center.

    In conclusion, the collection analysis revealed several important areas that need to be addressed when purchasing titles that correlate to the topic

    area of America/ American History:

  • 8/8/2019 Collection Dev. Plan2

    13/19

    The current selection is actually very large and it is therefore important to ensure that no titles are duplicated, and no titles are purchased

    for those in which we already have a heavy selection.

    Various aspects of the Standards need to be addressed more than others. Specifically, government, colonies, historical atlases, and

    biographies of Civil rights leaders.

    Books that are on a lower reading level need to be purchased so that our lower level readers can still independently enjoy this selection.

    Classroom sets of fictional and nonfictional titles need to be purchased so that the social studies and ELA standards can be aligned better.

    This can help the support teachers who pull the students out of the room to be able to use materials that are still on the topic area of the

    Social Studies standards.

    Updated audio visual selections need to be purchased which align to the current standards.

    Periodicals need to be looked at to see if there are any that could correlate with current American History related GPS.

    Materials Order and Budget Summary

    After evaluating the needs of the learners, teachers, and collection, I was able to complete an order summary. I investigated more than six vendors,

    but found that many titles or books overlapped. I narrowed my search to 4 vendors who each offered a different group of materials that could be

    added to enhance the selection of America/ American History in the Chestatee Elem. Media center. In order to update the selection to be in line

    with standards I will spend a total of $3,143.57. The materials purchased will be able to meet the needs of the selection that I identified through

    my evaluation process.

    None of the new materials are repetitious of those already housed in the media center.

    The weaknesses in the standards were addressed and new materials will be purchased to help better instruct these areas. These materials

    are not restricted to book titles only. Audio Visual materials as well as periodicals will be available for students and teachers to use.

    Nonfiction books are naturally written at a higher reading level for many history books, but several titles were found in lower levels so

    that students who struggle with reading may be more independent. Additionally, ebooks will be purchased so that teachers can display the

    books on the ACTIV board and read aloud to students.

    Two sets of novel studies were purchased for 5 th grade classrooms. This will give the teacher the opportunity to cross disciplines and

    expose children to the standards that are often pulled out for special services.

  • 8/8/2019 Collection Dev. Plan2

    14/19

    Multicultural books for each grade level were purchased to help the students learn more tolerance for those cultures that they are not

    exposed to within the school.

    By meeting the needs of the current selection, it is my hope that the media center will be used more frequently by teachers to enhance their

    lessons. However, several of the teachers commented that they do not use the media center because they do not know what correlates with the

    standards. Before putting these new titles on the shelves, it is my intention to communicate with the teachers what materials we have in the media

    center that can help them to teach the standards to our students. Through weeding the current selection, purchasing titles to complete the

    collection, and communicating to teachers the inventory available, we should see an increase in circulation and interest among our students.
