Leading with Learning4Life: Using the AASL Framework to Build a Pivotal Literacy Program

Presented April 25 by Judi Moreillon, Texas Woman's University, Texas L4L State Co-Coordinator

Are you using AASL’s Learning4Life (L4L) Initiative to practice leadership? Through collaboration with classroom teachers, school librarians can be instrumental in helping principals meet school and district goals. L4L provides a framework for leading our literacy teams to improve student learning outcomes and develop educators’ teaching expertise. Come to this session prepared to take away ideas for implementing job-embedded professional development activities on Monday morning. Think! Create! Share! Grow! Position your library at the center of your school’s literacy program.
