Good afternoon, CASL members.
I
wanted to let you know of the report we just released, Charting New Frontiers in Student-Centered Learning:
The document calls out the important role of libraries in advancing Connecticut’s K – 12 system and offers five recommendations for advancing
student-centered learning in Connecticut:
·
Develop a common vision of student mastery by the conclusion of high school
·
Use this new vision to drive an intentional framework for state and local policy, recognizing the need for different pathways to success for a diversity of
learners
·
Encourage collaborative work that brings about more educational
research and development in the state
·
Identify and amplify the work of cross-sector, student-centered pioneers that showcase the graduate of the future
·
Identify and analyze untapped resources in Connecticut, in regional and national networks, and online
The report is meant to capture and contribute to a conversation already taking place across Connecticut, as we learned from stakeholder interviews.
We hope it engages a diversity of education stakeholders to envision and advance the learner-centered experiences that all students deserve. I invite you to share the publication with your networks, and I welcome your feedback.
Regards,
Doug
