The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) adopted by New Jersey provide an excellent opportunity to show how important the school library media program is in addressing these standards and preparing students for lifelong learning, informed decision-making, and effective use of information technologies. Learn when and how to effectively advocate for your program using different strategies with a variety of audiences. You will learn to use the numerous resources from AASL and NJASL as you develop specific examples and personal stories that you can use immediately to advocate in your school.
After this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Incorporate the CCSS as part of their advocacy for quality library media programs
- Build a range of strategies and techniques to use as advocacy tools
- Advocate for the 21st Century learner to a wide variety of audiences
