School Libraries and Antiracism. For Black people, and people of color, the systemic racism, the oppression, and the acts of aggression that have taken place for the entire timeline of our country is a never-ending stain on our society. As I write this, sitting on my deck, knowing full well the privilege that I have as a white woman in our country, my heart is sick. My heart is sick at knowing another three senseless deaths have occurred in the time just prior and then during the time that I have been isolated in my house because of COVID-19. Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd all lost their lives due to racism and senseless violence.
Come Together As a collective group of school librarians, we need to come together and ensure that our libraries are places where antiracism prevails. The Teaching Tolerance standards are based around four anchor standards: Identity, Diversity, Justice, and Action. See Our Students for Who They Are We, as school librarians, must model the standards. Speak Up We must speak up. National Media Literacy Alliance | National Association for Media Literacy Education.

Graphic Novels. Using Children’s Books to Teach Literary Theory in High School. I’ve always struggled with how to teach my seniors about literary analysis. Many of them find it boring or don’t see how they can use it in their lives. After two years of trying to justify our study of literary theory to my students, I reevaluated how—and why—I was teaching it in the first place. I started with the literature I had been making my students read during our literary analysis unit. I often assigned “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, a story with a lot of symbolism and depth, or “The Oval Portrait” by Edgar Allan Poe.
Although students usually understood these stories on a surface level, I quickly realized that they didn’t provide a solid baseline from which students could work. Without an emotional connection to or prior knowledge of the story, students couldn’t even provide a solid reader’s response analysis. Transitioning to More Familiar Texts So instead of using complicated literature, I introduced literary theory through children’s books and fairy tales.

Standards Crosswalks. Meet your collaborators where they are with AASL’s series of crosswalks between the National School Library Standards and other sets of national teaching and learning standards. School librarians and educators can download separate documents for each national standards set crosswalked by AASL. Other possible standards sets are being reviewed by AASL for crosswalks and will be posted here as they are completed. Download printable PDFs (11×17) of these crosswalk sets About the CrosswalksThe AASL Standards Crosswalk Task Force recognizes that sets of standards vary in their nature and level of specificity or generality. When cross-walking standards sets, it is prudent and necessary to leave some interpretation open to the professional educator. Depending on the language used, not all sets of national standards are aligned equally to AASL’s learner, school librarian, and school library frameworks. SLR EBookCollections V22.

Literacy instruction, especially on the secondary level, is currently undergoing a major overhaul.
Teachers and authors Penny Kittle, Kelly Gallagher, Donalyn Miller, and others are leading the way in this resurgence—advocating for book clubs and student choice of reading material, promoting diversity in reading selections, and even providing grants for teachers to build classroom libraries. While it’s easy to get excited about educators promoting these research-based literacy strategies, there is one group of educators who know that none of this is new: school librarians. The South Carolina Association of School Librarians is a strong network of school librarians working across the state to advocate for school librarianship and our vital role in student achievement. In 2016, for example, the network presented research showing that standardized test scores increase in schools with a full-time, certified school librarian. It’s no accident that librarians hold positions in schools.

Dear Ms. MARC: Sometimes when I am cataloging a resource, I am not able to find a MARC record on Alliance. Shouldn’t there be a MARC record for everything that is published? Are there sources in addition to Alliance, where I can find MARC records to download into Destiny? Dear Reader: While Alliance Online and Alliance AV provide access to over 10 million MARC records, these databases do not contain a MARC record for every resource that has been published.

Millennials in America are more likely to have visited a public library in the past year than any other adult generation. A new analysis of Pew Research Center survey data from fall 2016 finds that 53% of Millennials (those ages 18 to 35 at the time) say they used a library or bookmobile in the previous 12 months. That compares with 45% of Gen Xers, 43% of Baby Boomers and 36% of those in the Silent Generation. (It is worth noting that the question wording specifically focused on use of public libraries, not on-campus academic libraries.)
All told, 46% of adults ages 18 and older say they used a public library or bookmobile in the previous 12 months – a share that is broadly consistent with Pew Research Center findings in recent years. Members of the youngest adult generation are also more likely than their elders to have used library websites. About four-in-ten Millennials (41%) used a library website in the past 12 months, compared with 24% of Boomers.

EdWebet71 Future Ready Librarians. Does the classroom of the future look more like a coffee shop? Peek inside Brittany Horning’s second-grade class at L’Ouverture Elementary School, and you’ll see kids sprawled on large ottomans, perched atop bouncy seats, lying back on gamer-style recliners and using footstools as makeshift desks.
It looks more like a living room or a neighborhood coffee shop – minus the whirring espresso machine – than a traditional classroom with rows of desks. “The kids really enjoy being in this environment. It feels comfortable to them,” said Janelle Roland, who oversees the school’s teacher training and behavior plan. “It’s been a really interesting and fun and exciting thing to put into place.” L’Ouverture, a computer and technology magnet school near 13th and Mosley, is experimenting with flexible seating – long benches, standing desks, bouncy chairs and wedge cushions – in the hopes of encouraging creativity and collaboration. The idea: Flexible seating arrangements better reflect modern, 21st-century learning styles. Next page: The real cost of the change. THE BRITISH LIBRARY - The world's knowledge.
