Library Curriculum
The library curriculum is based on the National School Library Standards developed by the American Association of School Librarians (AASL).
These standards offer vision for teaching and learning. They define the library program and serve as a tool for school librarians to use to shape the learning of students. Learners use skills, resources, and tools to think, create, share, and grow.
Shared Foundations and Key Commitments of the AASL Standards Framework for Learners:
Inquire - Build new knowledge by inquiring, thinking critically, identifying problems, and developing strategies for solving problems.
Include - Demonstrate an understanding of and commitment to inclusiveness and respect for diversity in the learning community.
Collaborate - Work effectively with others to broaden perspectives and work toward common goals.
Curate - Make meaning for oneself and others by collecting, organizing, and sharing resources of personal relevance.
Explore - Discover and innovate in a growth mindset developed through experience and reflection.
Engage - Demonstrate safe, legal, and ethical creating and sharing of knowledge products independently while engaging in a community of practice and an interconnected world.
Library lessons also integrate standards from Common Core and ISTE and IB units.
