Success for All Program

[McCheyne <mccheyne@CLARITYCONNECT.COM>]

Our school is considering purchasing the Success for All Program to improve
reading scores.  I am concerned about the requirement that all teachers -
even the music, art, P.E. teachers, and librarian will all have reading
classes for 90 minutes every morning.  I am currently the only librarian in
our elementary school of about 600 students.  We actually have 2 separate
libraries, one for K-3, and the other for grades 4-6.  I cannot imagine how
I will maintain my current responsibilities (I've been here 10 years, but it
doesn't ever seem to get particularly easy) and also add a 90 minute reading
class to every day.  (By the way, I am also in the process of migrating our
library catalog from Dynix Scholar to SIRSI along with our school library
system consortia, as well as anticipating full renovations for both
libraries.)

Has anyone out there experienced the Success for All Program?  If so, what
was your role as the SLMS?  Any feedback will be appreciated, as well as
suggestions for how to approach this situation.

Thank you,
