> Librarians are at the forefront of helping schools become “future ready.” Join us for a webinar with Michelle Luhtala, Library Department Chair at New Canaan High School in Connecticut (winner of AASL’s 2010 National School Library Program of the Year) and Mark Ray, Chief Digital Officer for Vancouver Public Schools and Future Ready Librarians Thought Leader. The Alliance for Excellent Education (the Alliance) launched its Future Ready Schools (FRS) initiative in October 2014 with the aim of leveraging technology and connectivity to personalize and transform learning. In June 2016, the Alliance, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Educational Technology, expanded FRS to position school librarians as leaders in this effort. In this session, Michelle Luhtala and Mark Ray will discuss what it means to be Future Ready. We’ll be encouraging questions from the audience to help us address this important topic.
