Jackson County Comprehensive High School Site Description

In this collection development plan, the section about nations and continents in Jackson County Comprehensive High School’s media

center will be evaluated. JCCHS is one of three high schools in the county. It is located in Jefferson, Georgia which is fairly in the center of

the county. The other two high schools are Jefferson, which is the city school, and EJCHS, which serves the students in the eastern section of

the county. The school was not built too long ago. It is newer than the city school, but much older than EJCHS. There has been some dispute

within the county about EJCHS having nicer amenities than JCCHS, but that cannot e helped because EJCHS is only two years old and

JCCHS is over ten years old. Each classroom has at least one computer. There are seven computer labs in the school, not including the media

center. Each teacher has a laptop that is issued to them at the beginning of each school year. The mascot of JCCHS is the panther. The school

colors are red and black.

JCCHS Staff

As of right now, there are 83 certified employees and 42 non-certified employees. There will be much less next year because our

school district has to tighten its belt because of the lack of money. A majority of the certified staff have more than 5 years experience and

many have more than 10 years of experience. Most have been working at this school their entire career. Many have Master’s degrees and 5

have Doctorate degrees. The certified staff includes one principal, three assistant principals, two media specialists, three resource teachers,

eight English teachers, ten math teachers, nine science teachers, twelve social studies teachers, one art teacher, two band directors, one chorus

teacher, one drama teacher, four agriculture teachers, three business education teachers, two family and consumer sciences teacher, one

information technology teacher, three JROTC instructors, two health occupations teachers, one video broadcasting teacher, one youth

apprenticeship teacher, one driver’s education teacher, six physical education teacher, one graduation coach, one ESOL teacher, and one AP

coordinator. The non-certified staff includes three counselors, two instructional technologists, nine cafeteria workers, seven custodians, three

secretaries, and eighteen paraprofessionals.

JCCHS Student Analysis

JCCHS’s current student enrollment is 875. Out of these 875 students, 390 are male and 485 are female. There are 23 African-

American students, 124 Asian/Pacific Islander students, 231 students are Hispanic and the rest are Caucasian. There are 308 students

completing the college prep diploma, 493 students completing the dual seal diploma and the rest are completing the tech seal diploma. There

are six classes that are being evaluated for this plan. Two classes are Advanced Placement, two are advanced and two are regular education.

Within these classes there are 24 Advanced Placement students, 41 advanced students and 58 regular education students. All but four of these

students are at or above their grade reading level. There are 48 tactile learners, 9 auditory learners, 15 visual learners and 51 kinesthetic

learners within these six classes.

JCCHS Media Center

JCCHS’s media center is in the very front of the building next to the offices. It is small, but well organized. There is the main room

where all of the books and computers are kept. There are three offices. One of the offices is for one of the media specialists and the media

center paraprofessional. The other office is for the other media specialist and all of the videos. The last office is for the resource officer. The

last room in the media center is for all of the audio visual equipment and the laminator. In the main room there are twenty computers that the

students can use to work on the Internet and print materials. Two of these computers are connected to scanners. There is usually a line for the

two computers with scanners attached. There are also two computers for the media specialists. One is a Mac and the other is a Dell. The

paraprofessional also has a computer that she uses to check-in and check-out books.

In the back room where all the audio visual equipment is kept, there is a cart for MediaCast which is used for digitizing all of the

DVDs and VHS tapes that our school district contains. Back in the main room, the books are organized according to the Dewey Decimal

System. The fiction books cover the exterior wall and the reference books are in the center of the room. In the back corner there are shelves

that hold all of the nonfiction books. The media specialists keep all of the high demand books up front with waiting lists. Next to the reference

section, there are periodicals. The media center receives 17 periodicals monthly. There are very few months that there are periodicals left at

the end because the students steal them.

From looking through the media center at the available books and videos, the area that is lacking the most is the area of resources

about international countries. There are very few resources and the resources that we do have are old and irrelevant. There are only 66

resources in the media center that deal directly with the standards listed below. Here is a list of these resources.

Collection Evaluation: Quanitative

The 66 resources listed above that deal directly with the listed standards are a very small percentage of the resources in the media

center. This collection has not been added to for several years because of the lack of funds. In fact, there was no money this year, so not one

part of the collection was added to. Hopefully next year there will be enough money to at least add a few resources. The majority of the books

listed above have rarely been checked out. This year, the students are avoiding most of them because of the condition of the book. It seems

that if the book is much older than five years, the students ignore it. Most of the books in this section have taped and glued spines and covers.

The average condition of the resources is not good. One of the media specialists expressed extreme anger about not being able to replace

some of the older resources and get new resources for the students. She is not happy about not being able to place an order this year. She said

that she is asking the board office to let the media centers who were not able to place an order this year be first in line for the money next

year. Hopefully, that will help us boost the resources that are in the media center and help the students get the information that they need.

Collection Evaluation: Qualitative

The media center at JCCHS is very user friendly. The books are listening tapes are easily accessed by the students. On each of the

computers available to the students there is the software necessary to locate books, access an online class and find your grades for any class

that you are taking or have taken. The media center computers all have Destiny, Infinite Campus and a drive that allows students to save

documents to the computers. The media center is designed well, except there is one corner called “the stacks” where students frequently go to

sleep because it is impossible to see them from anywhere else in the media center. There is actually no way to fix this besides taking the time

to frequently go back there to check for sleepers. Within the section of books that I listed above, there is only one that is written in another

language, that language is Spanish. We have a very large number of students that speak Spanish and are not comfortable with English. It

would be great if we had more sources in more than just English. We also have a large number of Hmong students. There needs to be some

building up of our multilingual collection. That would be very beneficial to a large number of our students.

Collection Evaluation: Titlewise Analysis

According to the TitleWise Collection Analysis Overview, JCCHS has 20989 holdings. This means that there are 23.99 holdings per

student. The average age of the collection is from 1987. That means that the average age of the books in the media center is 22 years old. The

data integrity of the resources is 96.9%. The collection has a range of 9 books from the 1900’s decade to 3704 books in the 2000’s decade.

The collection is mostly over the age sensitive range. Systems data and computer programs are 100% over the acceptable age range. The

section of the collection that is the most age relevant is astronomy and allied sciences. That section is only 85.23% over the acceptable age

range. There should be some extensive weeding done, but that can only be done when there is money to also build up the collection after it is

weeded. The section of the collection that is shown in the section about the media center is less than .5% of the entire collection. That is not

enough at all. There is a huge lack of resources about the world. That is why I chose this topic.

Collection Evaluation: Teacher Questionnaires

I received responses from each of the three teachers that I interviewed for this evaluation. Each of these teachers are responsible for

teaching some if not all of the standards that are listed above. These teachers each have their own personal library that they house in their

classroom. They allow students to use their resources, but some of the things that they have mentioned that the media center lacks are things

such as recorded books that the students can listen to and videos that correspond with the curriculum. They also mentioned a lack of reference

materials. The lack of resources has not helped them in covering the standards that are applicable to their classes. Since most of the resources

that these teachers own are college texts or advanced reading, they suggested that some of the resources needed for the media center should be

at a lower reading level to help the students jump start research and understanding of the topics covered in their classes. This is especially

relevant to the regular education classes.

Classroom Data

The teachers that I questioned were asked for some demographic information about their classes. They were also asked about their

students learning styles. The following chart contains the information that they supplied. The last thing that the teachers were asked was about

what is lacking in the media center that they could use to supplement their classes or would help the students with research.

Classes AP European History Advanced World History Regular World HistoryNumber of Students 24 41 58Male 12 17 38Female 12 24 20Auditory Learners 1 3 5Visual Learners 5 3 7Kinesthetic Learners 0 15 36Tactile Learners 18 20 10Number of Hispanic Students 1 4 20Number of Hmong Students 5 7 7

Activities Used to Teach Standards

The following are some activities that could be used to teach the standards that are listed above:

Advanced Placement: Since this class is actually titled European History. The students will be given a topic such as France’s economy

during World War I. Then they will be asked to research and write a research paper that describes the country and situation that they have

been assigned. These papers must show detailed research and correct citations. The length of these research papers must be between 5 and 7

pages. The students will be able to choose their own topic with the permission of the instructor. If the topic is not appropriate, then they will

be assigned a topic by their instructor.

Advanced: The students will be placed into groups and assigned as specific countries and times. They will be asked to research and present a

PowerPoint or other form of a presentation program to the class. This will give the students authority in their class and will help them to claim

their knowledge. They will be asked to present for 15-20 minutes. Each group will contain three students. Each student will be responsible for

a different task. After the group presents, each student in the group will evaluate each of the other students. This will allow them to let the

teacher know if each student did equal work on the presentation.

Regular: The students will have a map quiz. They will be supplied with a blank map with the outlines of the countries, major rivers and

major lakes of Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania and South America. They will be asked to fill in all of the countries, major rivers and major

lakes. Than they will be asked to write at least one major fact about each continent.

Reviews

Most of the reviews that were written about the resources chosen for the order were favorable. There were a few that said that the

source was graphic and not for young children. These sources were about the AIDS epidemic in Africa. I believe that even though these

sources are graphic they are a necessary part of understanding the continent and people of Africa. Overall, the reviews available for the

sources chosen for the order are favorable and say that the source is great. That let me know that source would be a valuable addition to the

media center.

Consideration File

The order that I feel would be beneficial to the students and faculty that have classes that cover the standards listed above follows.

There are printed books, ebooks and video resources. I only bought one book in another language because I felt that because the majority of

our student population speaks English fluently, there was not as much a need as I originally thought. I did buy the one resource though

because I also feel that students should be able to read in the language that they are the most comfortable with. Standing in the hallway during

class change, it is easy to hear at least three different languages. That is proof enough that there are many bilingual students who would be

served well by having a book in their language.

Although the standards listed above, some of the books that I decided to purchase are for lower levels of education. The AP teacher

told me that one thing that would be beneficial for all of the students in AP, advanced and regular classes would be to buy some resources that

are at a lower level of reading. He said that those types of resources help to jumpstart the students understanding of a topic and their research.

So, some of the resources are intended for lower levels of education but are beneficial for high school students to begin learning about a topic.

Some of these sources are very expensive, but they will most likely be used as reference materials. There is one set of materials. This

set includes several books. It is also the most expensive item that I decided to buy.
