AASL Chapters Forum

AASL is launching new research into the supporting content and material of the National School Library Standards with a set of online surveys for school librarians, collaborators, and AASL Chapters. More than eight years ago, AASL embarked on the journey to develop the National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries. These new standards marked a critical milestone for the school library field which activated school librarians and connections across the educational landscape. The periodic review and evaluation of content and materials that support school librarians and educational leaders implementing national standards is an important activity of the association. The online survey phase of the research is the most inclusive and your best opportunity to influence future planning and content to strengthen further adoption of the standards and advocacy for the role of school librarians! It is critical we hear from you and your communities-you continue to be the foundation of our work! Watch your e-mail and AASL social media channels for updates.
