Ann Morgester of Anchorage, Alaska shared these resources in a Weeding Session at the AASL 2017 National Conference. The link to her posters that were crowdsourced at the beginning of the session are entertaining and enlightening, and many will see their own mindset in the shared comments.
Heather Thore, SCASL President-Elect and Kristie Haltiwanger, SCASL Standards and Guidelines Committee Chairperson represented SCASL at the AASL National Conference, 2017 in Phoenix, Arizona. They attended the 1.5 day pre-conference in which they examined the newly released National School Library Standards for School Librarians, Learners and School Libraries. The standards were presented using a double track agenda. While delving into the standards participants practiced strategies that may be used with their students. At the 2018 Regional Workshops for Library Media Specialists in January and February these strategies will be implemented as the standards are introduced to librarians across South Carolina. If you have not already registered for the workshop in your region do not hesitate. This is professional development that you do not want to miss!
