AASL Conference Unveils New National Standards

All of the New England states had representation at AASL's National Conference in Phoenix. NESLA members presented as well as attended the unveiling of the new National Standards. For more pictures of the conference, go to the NESLA facebook page, and feel free to add pictures from your state!

Below is an excerpt from the AASL Standards page:

(http://standards.aasl.org/beliefs/)

IN THE STANDARDS remodeling process, the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) reviewed Common Beliefs from earlier AASL Standards and official AASL position statements. These documents, and feedback collected from more than 1,300 school librarians and stakeholders nationally, provided AASL with a clear expression of the qualities of well-prepared learners, effective school librarians, and dynamic school libraries.

Please visit the AASL website for more information on the National Standards
