Hello everyone!
With support from OverDrive Education, AASL is launching a two-year initiative to engage with an audience vital to the success of school librarian advocacy: school administrators. The "AASL School Leader Collaborative: Administrators & School Librarians Transforming Teaching and Learning" aims to strengthen AASL's collaboration with school administrators.
One of the pieces of the initiative is to form an AASL School Leader Collaborative group composed of seven school administrators, the AASL president, a member of the AASL board of directors appointed by the AASL president, the AASL executive director and a representative from OverDrive Education. AASL School Leader Collaborative members will serve as active ambassadors for school libraries.
The full press release and more information can be found here: http://bit.ly/2VXYBei.
Simultaneously, we've opened nominations for school administrators to serve on the Collaborative. Administrators must be nominated by an AASL member and both the administrator and the AASL member must be able to attend the 2019 AASL National Conference taking place Nov. 14-16 in Louisville, Kentucky.
If appointed to serve, the administrator and their nominating school librarian will receive a shared $1,000 travel stipend and each will receive complimentary conference registration. Nominations must be submitted before 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2019.
The full press release and more information can be found here: http://bit.ly/2VRa9zX.
We're hoping that you'll share this information widely and encourage nominations for administrators to serve on this exciting initiative. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks!
Jen
