Standards for the 21st Century Learner • The Learners: • Inquire, Think Critically and Gain Knowledge • Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge • Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society • Pursue personal and aesthetic growth

  7. Standard 3: Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society

  9. Standards are Benchmarked at Grades 2, 5, 8,10 and 12 Here is a look at how one indicator progresses through each grade level:

  10. Other than AASL, what standards applicable to SLMS? Library Media Content Standards and Objectives for West Virginia Schools (2520.17) West Virginia Board of Education Policy 2520.14 21stCentury Learning Skills and Technology Tools Content Standards and Objectives for West Virginia Schools Common Core State Standards AASL Crosswalk to the Common Core

  11. Where Do We Go From Here? As an association, we must continue to push for legislation that ensures every school has a certified LMS. Of the more than 700 schools in the state, only 46% have the services of even a half-time library media specialist. • As professional educators and librarians, we must embrace the following AASL documents and reference them in our discussions with teachers, administrators, the general public, parents: • Standards for the 21st Century Learner (AASL, 2009) • Standards for the 21st Century Learner in Action (AASL, 2009) • Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Media Programs (AASL, 2009) • A 21st Century Approach to School Librarian Evaluation (Patricia Owen for AASL, 2012)
