Description

Stay calm and don’t get “tense” about where our profession is heading! We will explore how school librarians (and their learning communities) through progress being made on the alignment of effective, research-based practice and norms with other education standards and initiatives, can achieve Future Perfect libraries. Presenters will share insights from their involvement with Standards development/implementation and take a lively look at how to improve current practice and plan for the future.

Learning Objectives:

• Develop achievable, evaluative goals related to School Librarian Standards.
• Understand, prepare for and make appropriate adjustments in practice to meet learner needs.
• Create a personal plan for improvement.
