Oklahoma School Librarians

OKSL is excited to announce an innovative approach to professional development for Oklahoma School Librarians.

OKSL will launch a unique web course, Understanding the Shared Foundations in the Learner Framework, in January 2019. The web course, designed to provide one hour per week of professional development on the new AASL/Oklahoma School Library Standards, will utilize the online platform Schoology. Librarians may access, view and participate on their own schedule, and rolling enrollment in the course will be accepted until February 15th.

• understand each of the six shared foundations (Inquire, Include, Collaborate, Curate, Explore and Engage)  from the learner framework of the new AASL/Oklahoma Standards.
• incorporate and apply the new standards into existing lesson plans
• collaborate with others in the web course to improve current lesson plans
• collaborate with others in the web course to design new units of study with the standards
