 * Measureable: **
 * ** List units and grade levels for collaborative units taught.  **
 * ** Identify information literacy standards addressed in each collaborative lesson.  **
 * Relevant: **
 * ** It is important to expand systematically the collaborative planning/teaching relationships and beginning with grade-level teams is a good start.   **
 * ** Building specific information literacy goals into lessons is important for student achievement and working with each grade level allows us to scaffold the standards.  **
 * ** As TL’s we want to increase student use of databases and print resources.   **
 * Timely: **
 * ** These units will be completed by June of 2010.  **
 * Specific: **
 * Our strategy is to support Language Arts classroom emphasis on improving SRI scores by helping students identify reading material at their appropriate lexile level.
 * Create a workable system for students to be able to select varied reading materials at their identified lexile level. (Reading at the appropriate lexile level improves reading skill.)
 * Communicate the lexile identification to Language Arts teachers and their students.
 * Identify lexile levels for materials in the library collection.
 * Use library book budget to enhance collection with high interest books at a variety of lexile levels in both fiction and non-fiction.
 * Measureable: **
 * ** The lexile identification will be completed in the fiction collection.  **
 * ** New purchase will have lexile levels identified.  **
 * Relevant: **
 * This work supports building-wide goals for increasing reading scores.
 * Timely: **
 * The system will be in place and communicated clearly to all LA teachers and their students by mid-September 2009.
 * All fiction will have identifiable lexiles by April 2010.
