Dear LM_netters, I am a graduate student in the school media program at the School of Information at the University of Michigan. I am seeking your perspective on No Child Left Behind and the idea of media specialists being considered highly qualified teachers for inclusion in a paper I am writing for class. In the literature I am finding a lot of support for media specialists being considered highly qualified. I am having difficulty finding the opposing viewpoint, which I must represent also. I am trying to find someone who opposes the idea. Your opinions are what I am seeking, although any leads on research would be appreciated as well. For instance, what ways might library curriculum be affected by this change? An example of one argument I have heard thus far on opposing school media specialists becoming highly qualified under NCLB is that it narrows the job definition to teacher when clearly there are several other key roles media specialists hold. Paper Information The paper is for a current class on educational reform but may possibly be used for publication in the future. In the paper I will anonymously represent comments made from the list. Thanks in advance.
