National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries, Second Edition

 

Now in its second edition, the National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries is an investment in your professional growth, your learners' educational experiences, and the central role your library plays in the academic mission of your school. The AASL Standards position learners as active seekers and creators of knowledge, emphasizing their pivotal role in a learning process that is supported by school librarians and libraries. While the AASL Standards frameworks remain consistent, this edition refines and strengthens the supporting text, effectively bridging theory and practice. You will find valuable insights on how to design, support, assess, and personalize competency-based learning experiences across grade levels and content areas.

 

As a foundational resource for school librarians, the AASL Standards provide essential context for educational leadership. The second edition is enriched with actionable strategies and practical examples to enhance the application of standards, empowering school librarians to advocate for their essential role within the school system and contribute to broader school and district goals through the school library.
