A teacher's perspective on Online vs. F2F

AASL provides a ton of research, data, and statistics saying librarians are needed to teach students 21st century learning skills. Schools staffed with librarians have better student outcomes in reading and test scores. Students who read better and are taught research skills by a librarian will have an easier time learning.

The following pages include tables that help school librarians learn how the AASL Standards for the 21st-Century Learner and the Common Core State Standards align.

Transliteracy is often defined as the ability to read, write, and interact across a range of platforms, tools, and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio, and film, to digital social networks.

Standards for the 21st-Century Learner offer vision for teaching and learning to both guide and beckon our profession as education leaders. They will both shape the library program and serve as a tool for school librarians to use to shape the learning of students in the school.
