The Big Reveal - Libraries Transform, But Only with Expert Librarians By Sara Kelly Johns, Susan D. Ballard, and Dorcas Hand The ALA Initiative “Libraries Transform” has been further defined during this past year by ALA President Julie Todaro as “Libraries Transform: The Expert in the Library.” In developing her initiative, Julie tapped the three of us to join her task force and chair the school group, and we in turn tapped a group of respected practitioners to build a set of resources to define and support the professional growth of school librarians. Our team’s initial work involved searching for articles and AASL position statements to define Dispositions and Competencies for effective practice, Leadership and Collaboration to strengthen impact, Value and Measurables to offer administrators and policy makers, and Advocacy tips to benefit community awareness. Next we took the School Librarian Competencies based on the PSELs (April 2017) as the core of a rubric for self-assessment for school librarians. Like this: Like Loading...
