Increasing value of Library in School
Beginning of assessment in GDGWS PYP Library
Educational assessment is the process of documenting knowledge, skills, attitudes, and beliefs and assessment for students increases their motivation and “deepens quality of learning.”(Harada, 2006)Assessment makes students more self directed in their learning. Assessment for librarians is useful to gives direction to reading, writing and research skills of users and informs purposeful teaching. Assessment also allows for more differentiated instruction and personalized feedback. Without taking part in the grading of student achievement, the work of library media specialists is relegated to “nice by not necessary.”~Allison Zmuda, 2006.
