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.
