text version services council city code ... recycling search Setting Up A School Recycling Program The key to a school recycling program is to get everyone involved. Recycling programs should be kept simple at the start. Any implementation should be fairly easy to handle or there will be a rapid die-off in enthusiasm and results. The messages that students get about recycling should be clear and positive. Step One First, students, faculty and administration need to decide how to proceed with a sound recycling program. Questions like, "what kinds of recyclable waste does the school produce?" (mainly paper and aluminum cans) and "how will the recyclables get to recycling centers" needs to be asked. A recycling program may start as a "recycling club" activity, with the leadership changing to administrative staff as the program grows into a permanent school function. Eventually, it is probably desirable that the recycling coordinator be housed with a complementary function like custodial services, maintenance and operations. The recycling coordinator or recycling contact person will want to keep students motivated and the program running smoothly. Step Two The next step in your "learn-by-doing recycling program" is to find out who will take the collected recyclables. To help you, the City of Fort Collins Natural Resources Division produces a

Meet the Teacher / Librarians Meet the Support Staff See below for more information on the correlation between successful library media programs and student achievement. Research on Academic Achievement and Library Media Centers The most commonly cited study about the correlation between library media programs and student achievement is the "Colorado Study" conducted by Keith Curry Lance in 1993. The results: where library media centers are better funded, academic achievement is higher, whether their schools and communities are rich or poor and whether adults in the community are well or poorly educated. Lance also found that among predictors of academic achievement, the size of the school library staff and collection is second in significance only to the absence of risk conditions (such as poverty).

Call it the Big Sister mentoring program for school librarians. Power Libraries teaches media specialists how to turn their school libraries into vital learning centers that seamlessly weave resources into classroom lessons. And it teaches them how to collaborate with teachers to ensure kids learn the right research skills. With these accomplishments, the project's creators say, librarians will eventually gain the trust and support of their principals, and soon enough, the badly needed funds will start flowing their way.
