I just attended a great conference at the Syracuse ( NY) Sheraton. It was the School librarians transform Learning : Teaching with the new AASL Standards.It was hosted by the NYLA/AASL for New York State school librarians
Each participant was required to bring or buy the Book - AASL National Library Standards for learners, school Librarians, and School Libraries,.
After an overview of the framework, we jumped into learning about the shared foundations and the 4 competencies ( think, create, share, and grow). The best part was working as a large group- we were about 117 in number. And then as smaller groups, we divided our selves into grade levels.I got to meet, socialize, and discuss with other NY state middle school librarians.
Yes , it was overwhelming at times, as all conferences usually are. But I learned a lot and have some really good ideas for the fall.
The Book it self is a great combination of information, charts, and explanations . We worked on a lesson plan and I even got to discuss our lessons!!
You will be hearing more about these standards and how they bring connections between students , teachers, and school librarians.
