  1. Standards for the 21st Century Learner Thriving in the Information Age Sherry Crow, University of Nebraska at Kearney Su Eckhardt, UCD Network Professor & CASL PresidentNance Nassar, School Library Senior Consultant, Colorado State Library

  2. Session Agenda • Examination of the standards • Analysis of the impact • Implications Sherry Crow — crowsr@unk.edu Su Eckhardt – sueckhardt@earthlink.net Nance Nassar — nassar_n@cde.state.co.us

  3. Learner Standards • Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge. • Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge. • Share knowledge and participateethically and productively as members of our democratic society. • Pursue personal and aesthetic growth. • Strands across the standards: • Skills • Dispositions in Action • Responsibilities • Self-Assessment Strategies American Association of School Librarians, Standards for the 21st Century Learner, www.ala.org/ala/aasl/aaslproftools/learningstandards/standards.cfm

  4. Reviewing in Pairs Consider the standards, then the strands. What does each standard/strand mean? What is the significance of each standard/strand, and of the four of them collectively? What would it “look like” if you saw these learners at work? Why are the standards/strandsimportant?

  5. Collective Debriefing Compare and contrast: How are the Learner Standards different, similar, or like the previous 9 IL Standards? What implications do these standards have for our work? What questions/concernsdo you have?

  6. Adapting a Lesson: Days of Our Lives Fold here Focus on assessment and activities

  7. Applying Lesson to the New Standards Adapt activities and assessmentas appropriate for Learner Standards

  8. Guides for Adapting the Lesson How would you address each standard and strand? How would you assess student learning? What changes should be madein the learning activities? What additional lessons need to be added to pursue the standards?

  9. Analyzing the Lesson Adaptation What does this adaptation suggest about teaching and learning with the learner standards? How might the learner standards affect our work with colleagues?
