Our Standards for the 21st Century Learner debuted in 2007, followed in 2009 by Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Programs, what Marcia calls a cornerstone of many school librarians’ practice. The current AASL Standards & Guidelines Editorial Board has been actively engaged in research to inform their task of revising and remodeling (not tossing!) our current standards to ensure that we’re working from a playbook for dynamic, exciting learning leadership.The group recently shared the results of that research–the multi-layered survey, the data, and the research process–in the form of an infographic illustrating their high-level findings.
You’ll find more information about the standards revision and remodeling process at Your Voice, Your Standards.
