Collection Evaluation and Development Plan
Description of the Site
The school that I chose to evaluate for this assignment is North La Fayette Elementary
School (NLE) which is located in Walker County, Georgia in the city of La Fayette. It is one of
nine elementary schools in the county. NLE is a Title I school and serves approximately 534
students in grades Pre-K through 5. The students racial backgrounds are 83% white, 6%
African-American, 6% multiracial, 4% Hispanic and 1% Asian. Approximately 6% of students
have been identified as having disabilities, 5% of students are in Early Intervention Programs,
and approximately 14% of students are gifted. According to CRCT statistics for the 2011-2012
school year, 92.3% of students met/exceeded the Reading/Language Arts standards and 86.8%
met/exceeded the Mathematics standards. 45% exceeded the standards in Reading, 39%
exceeded in Language Arts, 39% exceeded in Mathematics, 45% exceeded in Science, and 29%
exceeded in Social Studies. There is a staff of 64, with 34 of those being teachers, 2
administrators, 1 academic coach, 1 counselor, 1 secretary, 1 receptionist, 1 clerk/media
paraprofessional, 1 parent involvement coordinator/RTI interventionist, 1 nurse, 9
paraprofessionals, 1 media specialist, and 1 speech pathologist.
The size of the library collection was difficult to assess. There were a lot of books and
materials in the collection that were not catalogued, so there was really no way to tell the actual
size of the collection.

I chose to focus on two social studies state standards that address the Civil War and
Restoration for fifth grade. There are four fifth grade teachers at NLE. One teacher focuses on
science and social studies. At the present time, there are 88 fifth grade students at NLE. Ten of
those students are special needs and there are no ESOL students. The students reading levels
range from 1.2 up to 10th grade. I did attempt to discuss with the social studies teacher some of
the assignments and projects that she uses to teach these standards, but unfortunately she did not
get the information to me after my attempts.
Curriculum Review
Grade:
Fifth
Content Topic:
State Standards:
SS5H1 The student will explain the causes, major events, and consequences of the Civil

how each of these events was related to the Civil War.

North and South.

Thomas Stonewall Jackson, 13th, 14th, 15th Amendments, Freedmens Bureau, and Jim Crow.
The searches did give me results, but no real help in actually locating the books.
What I found from my evaluation was a range of books from very old and outdated and
worn to brand new. There was a pretty good variety of books but there were some areas that
were lacking. There were no E-Books and not enough titles in any of the categories. Most of the
biographies were Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee. There was not much information on
Uncle Toms Cabin or Harpers Ferry. There was also not much found on the Atlanta Campaign
or Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson. I did not find very much information about the 13th,
14th, and 15th Amendments, the Freedmens Bureau, or Jim Crow laws. Below is a summary of
what I found.

many materials as possible to correlate with the standards I chose. I will look for materials that
discuss Harriet Beecher Stowe, John Brown, slavery, some major battles, Shermans March to
the Sea, key people such as Ulysses S. Grant, Jefferson Davis, and Thomas Stonewall Jackson,
Reconstruction, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, the Freedmens Bureau, and Jim Crow laws
and customs.
Some of the current collection is outdated. I will try to purchase materials that have been
published since 2005. I will purchase a wide variety of materials such as fiction and nonfiction
books, E-Books, DVDs, CDs, Audiobooks, and Playaways. I will also look for Spanish
materials, as well as womens and multicultural points of view.
Below you will find the materials order that I have compiled. I have also created a wiki
that provides links to relevant resources for teaching the Civil War and Restoration.
