Description

Leveraging social capital leads to school library program success. School librarians who co-develop an AASL-defined “Effective School Library Program” (AASL 2016a) and achieve the “Instructional Role of the School Librarian” (2016b) must build collaborative relationships to seamlessly integrate AASL’s Standards for the 21^st-Century Learner into the classroom curriculum.

By applying a systems thinking approach (Senge et al. 2012), school librarians can identify and nurture relationships in order to collaboratively solve instructional challenges. Using AASL’s “collaboration” definition (2016a), participants will engage in a series of hands-on activities framed by AASL’s “Think, Create, Share, and Grow” themes.
